MALAMORE

In the dark, with closed eyes, shaping another person. In the dark, with closed eyes, being shaped by someone else. A story of mirrors and distortions, of the inability to truly see oneself and the other—until getting lost. A place you believe to be a refuge, when in fact it is only a trap. We nourished each other, ruined each other, crumbled, led ourselves to collapse—reduced to nothing. Turning on the light. A lamp that does not illuminate will never allow you to see.
