The Comfort of a Lie (9 minutes)
The Comfort of a Lie prompts its audience to embrace a state of discomfort. Employing elements that originate from both visual and auditory uneasiness, this piece is a confrontation with instability. The Comfort of a Lie does not aim to provide the viewer with a pleasurable experience; rather, the piece aspires to negotiate uncomfortable factors and have its audience do the same.
