It’s rockabyebabytime
roundabout
and roundabout
and roundabout we go
anticipations
contradiction
division
self suggestion
imagination
oscillations between moderation, abstraction and passion.

In a word, dissension.

Night is not always a breathing space. Antagonisms, its best friends, love its company; in the blink of an eye they scream and manifest until dawn. Grounds for discontent?
Divergence of opinions and interests; I must, I must not, this must be, that must be not…

The mind keeps on having a row with itself and the egocentric war is unleashed. The « me myself and I » torn and divided, claims its multiple identities.
In those rotten nights that turn into insomnia, you can either win or lose –yourself.

Border Line, a short treatise on an everyday conflict, gives to see and hear a woman kept awake by the obsessive intricacies of her thoughts and an emotional state athwart the waves of a great spring tide.

Split into Siamese twins with opposite points of view, she can’t stop squabbling with herself. Questions of love, for oneself or for others…

Yes/No...
I love you, neither do I 

Will she become one on the border line ?
