Title: If the Morning Ever Comes

Creator: Hanna Rosenheimer

Category: Time

Creator Commentary:

This piece heavily uses feedback metaphors to convey stagnation and inactivity. Several motifs are repeated throughout the work, both in dialogue and narration, to give the piece a repetitive rhythm. The revolutions the main character, Beatrice, is trapped in prevent her from making any meaningful progress. When she finally breaks the cycle, it might be to make small steps, but it is nevertheless more progress than she was making when she was wallowing in self-pity.
