Abstract
This work plays with the idea of syuzhet. Rather than an organized story, it is more akin to an endless stream of thoughts. A path of thought that almost loops back to itself. Quarantined at home, I am slowly deforming into a prisoner of my mind. Every day feels the same, while a sense of terror and underlying pressure creeps up on me, forcing me to face the issues I have been struggling with in other aspects of my life. As articulated in the video, every day I am trying to literally kill time in order to escape from reality. Still, every day I wake up and I am thrown back into the loop again.
