Suffering. Pain. Self-deception.
The demons of the human being do not yield; they lurk beneath the skin, hidden in every daily decision. For that is their true nature.
This work explores the intimate and heartbreaking descent of Lotus, a young woman trapped in the shadows of her past, a prisoner of her own mind. In her search for identity, she confronts self-deception, the privileges she denies, and a borrowed existence that has never truly belonged to her. Thus, this story becomes an existential portrait of the emotional fall of a woman who, amid torn papers and murmurs in the garden, tries to decipher whether she was ever real and how she survives with the dead who call out her name.
