Fragility comes up against tenacity, desires against realities, the landscapes of the heart the hardest terrain to navigate.
Flashpoint explores the yin and yang of relationships, the push and pull of harmony and strife within our lives, how moments can shift on a dime and ignite into conflict, and the lines separating intimacy from violence. These flashpoints are suggestive not only of interpersonal relationships but as a metaphor for the incivilities and dramas within society.
