pleas (2017)
pleas (2017) explores two femme presenting bodies being stripped and sanitized by a common experience within a (non) working environment. They are gradually broken down by the monotonous and numerous tasks being asked of them. The daily emotional labor they perform starts a transition into conformity. They try to support each other through it all, putting forth effort to not notice the other is turning into what they fear.
