Best known as a decorative glassmaker of the 1920s and 30s, Rene Lalique was a multi-talented craftsman who began his career as a goldsmith and went on to become a leading exponent of Art Deco.

The narrative centers on a character navigating a hospital environment, overhearing distressing conversations about illness and mortality. As he is wheeled through the building, he experiences a disconnection from the harsh realities of life-threatening conditions like melanoma, allowing him to remain just out of reach of their full emotional weight. This poignant exploration of vulnerability and the human experience highlights the tension between awareness and avoidance in the face of devastating news.
