Title:
Little Pleasures

synopsis
Little Pleasures, illustrates how self-destructive behaviors can stem
from rituals intended to bring comfort. I perform a metaphor for
over-consumption by chewing five packages of bubble gum at once.
The piece begins in a humorous vein and at a gradual pace, but it
quickly accelerates into an act of torture.
