What happens when a Third Culture Kid ex-teacher stops running and sits in ten days of solitary meditative silence? Follow Lucy (half-English, half-Turkish, raised in Indonesia) as she sheds her teacher skin for the arts, forced to face the void in the process. With a late ADHD diagnosis, Lucy mastered the chameleon art of blending in, but adaptation has a visceral cost: the fawn response. Moving between the classroom and internal chaos, this solo show explores the mirage of insatiable human greed and seeking groundedness externally. A lyrical search for meaning, equanimity and an inner home.
