A talented,
underappreciated, starving finds a piece
of chalk in his barren apartment. He discovers
that whatever he draws with it, actually
forms.
He nourishes his hunger, replaces his furniture, and creates a dream environment
for himself. When he draws the woman of his dreams, she too appears. They laugh
and dance and talk about being together forever.
But as they kiss, the woman states, "We can't do that, I'm devoted to someone
else," and she exiles herself. The artist gives chase, but soon falls into a
waiting chamber where his "rebirthing" begins.
A neighbor finds the artist, dead in his apartment. A drawing on the wall reveals
the woman of his dreams carrying a baby, the artist.
This is a poignant, wonderfully directed, visual and imaginative work of art
that explores the tortured mind of an artist and draws deeper questions about
the relationship between creativity and rebirthing, and the process of making
one's subconscious desires conscious.
