Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.

The story of this work-
I'm in a room with a family. They're all singing and are intense, on the verge of being aggressive with me. They're followers of tiny Hitler. There's a mother a father and their 2 adult daughters. I'm being pushed around the rooms with their presence. I picked up sharp shears and knives as protection. They sit around the table with the radio on low. We have to hum the song. The mother is telling me how beautiful my voice is and asking the children to repeat it, “it's beautiful isn't it”. In front of everyone is a plastic beaker cylinder full of water. It's swampy coloured. I'm to pierce this water elegantly and in my own way, my own shapes and moves. When the water would have drained they would be dead. I stabbed the one in front of the girl to my right on the water line so only some leaks. They say how they expected more something flamboyant and less direct. But they think I'm doing it on purpose. I don't know what they expect of me. I do the same to the other girl’s. The song ends soon and I haven't killed anyone, but they are not displeased. Everyone is moving around and I'm now trying to make my way out without getting hurt or hurting anyone. The mother is asking if I am interested in one of their daughters, she said she saw the way I was looking at them and asks if I would like to leave my number.
