Overview: Embark on both a brutal and beautiful journey of self-discovery.
Nora is a capable, proud, professional woman who is standing on her own two feet and climbing to the position of Partner. She is also now a patient in a Psych ward, pulled apart by her longing for love but her inability to accept it. Nora has two great fears: being alone and facing the reality that her life is a facade. Now, she is being forced to confront both.
In this brutal yet beautiful tale, we live with Nora as she works through the consequences of her childhood experiences and the expansive sequence of self-destructive choices. We listen as she begins to comprehend how she has used her sexuality as a tool to conquer, control and avoid true connection. We witness her understanding of how the environments she has endured have left her with many scars, some seen, some buried beneath layers of lies.
Yet Nora yearns to live fully and freely. The therapy she undertakes in the hospital is heavy but also provides a sense of hope. Through her art assignments, she explores colours, their energy, and the excitement they bring. As she sketches and paints, reflects, and creates, she starts to realise how much she has been shaped by her environments and the power she has to make one where she can be safe and where she can shine. She gets a sense of how much work there is to do to unravel the tendrils that have pushed her to this point.
Nora decides not to return to the life that led her to the hospital but to a solitary sanctuary, a blank canvas upon which she can paint a new existence. But she carries with her ingrained harmful habits and problematic self-beliefs. Will she resist the pull to join another toxic partnership simply to avoid being a spinster?
