When attempting to understand our purpose in life, most of us come to a point where we realize that maybe life isn’t what it seems. Maybe life has no meaning or our reality isn’t what it appears to be at first glance. Simon shows the struggle of dealing with those questions and focuses on thoughts of suffering and sacrifice. Sometimes, our mind gets caught in the middle between two realities—two different types of existing. I wanted the viewer to be able to feel compassion for something that does not exist and address his or her own fear of nonexistence.
