'3' (2005/6)

Inspired by recent world events and reactions; ‘3’ looks at the hopelessness and the hope sought in terminal situations, the guilt of survival, the pleasure found in reinvention, and the fear of being misunderstood.

Dark, painful and cold, yet stuffy.

Circumstances have forced three together in an attempt to escape. Cramped with no fresh air, no food and accompanied by a Siren’s song of rushing water outside singing the impending end. ‘3’ digs deep into the meaning of loneliness and the fear of a conclusion before you are understood. Lights out before the last page.

Noah was prepared, but he had been warned.

“But what happens if one of the Ants gets eaten by one of the Anteaters?
What have you got then?”
