In the center of a black room, a larger-than-life child's music box chimes out a repetitive and hypnotically dissonant tune. The tune is not quite recognizable - in the manner of a memory that persists in keeping just enough distance from the conscious mind as to evoke an even stronger desire to remember. The shape of the box and natural properties of wood as an amplifier cause the sound to appear without direction. While the sound negotiates its way around the mind of the participant, the participant maneuver her way around a floor filled with stiletto-enhanced Pointe shoes. The space itself is further sexualized by the presence of a diamond-shaped mirror on the wall that only succeeds in reflecting the lower part of the body.
