Widow Mark – tear shaped mark on a woman’s head denoting her status as a widow.
Wrappings – long, flowing coverings wrapped around the body. Nominally used for environmental protection, but are more an ostentatious display of wealth and conspicuous consumption. Not gender specific, but are most often worn women.
.Boy versus Self.
Sometimes art kills.
There are moments when a creation pushes its creator to the brink of their imagination, to the fine line between true ingenuity and blistering insanity. Boy is such an artist, an artist who can’t seem to shake the demon he has himself created – Glass Wings. With his career taking off, will Boy overcome the darkness within? Will he reconcile with his family, his sister, his demons? And the people surrounding him – his erotic novelist girlfriend with violent night terrors, his drug dealer friend, the married Irish woman who brings him to New York, the mysterious Japanese man financing his art – where do they fit in all this? Will he ever be able to tell them the truth? A serrated existence that runs from Texas to Mexico, New York to Tokyo, BOY Versus SELF is a disquieting journey into the mind of a penniless artist as he struggles with shocking hallucinations that could kill him. True fear is easily created and rarely destroyed. True art is always the opposite.
