Doorstep, August

The title of this piece takes its name from the myth of Ameinias, a youth who killed himself on Narcissus’ doorstep after being rejected, using a sword given to him by his arrogant lover. Narcissus ignored the boy until he died, forced to confront him with no hope of bringing him back. This installation explores what it is to be young in an age where you cannot see yourself growing old, and the overwhelming anxiety that comes with total awareness. Paper airplanes appear frozen on a collision course. Loosely suspended garbage will inevitably all fall to the floor.
A door is in the midst of opening.
