This trilogy of short films uses a range of inspirations as starting points: Samuel Beckett’s 1963 text 'All Strange Away'; Prospero's penultimate soliloquy in Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'; and two paintings by Caspar David Friedrich - 'Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog' (1818) and 'The Tree of Crows' (1822).

"Murmur" focuses upon disability in terms of addressing the onlooker’s complicity in the subjugation and oppression of an individual in an increasingly restrictive space.

"Spell-Stopped" examines an individual's internal dialogue and process of 'self-reconciliation'.

"Crow" follows the 'struggle' of living with ritual and an attempt to break-free and escape.
