This artwork is a multimedia performance commentary on how mismanagement of the economy is a tool of dictatorial governments, such as in Myanmar, to control popular dissent. In this performance, there are three main characters: A wall, the sea, and a masked human. The wall refers to the present, which is dirty and torn. The sea represents the future, where justice and freedom thrive. The masked human refers to the people of Myanmar. In this story, the mask sits on his haunches in front of an old, torn wall and digs the earth to get to the sea. The mask has a conversation with the wall. The wall keeps questioning the mask. As the mask thinks about answering some of the questions that the wall asked him, the mask reflects on all the cruelty and injustice that he has experienced. While digging the earth and answering the questions asked by the wall, the man/woman arrives at the sea. When the waves of the sea encounter the man/woman, the mask is blown away by the wind.
