Apoptosis is a brief journey through a person’s psyche and is meant to be played on five computers simultaneously. The piece explores the experience of having a psychotic break, and examines the thin and easily blurred lines of reality and delusion. It revolves around themes of death, mental health, remorse, and the ongoing struggle to find purpose and place. It has been shown at Holographic 2014 and has been included in various live shows and concerts.
