| Description |
"Holiday is a gentle provocation, an examination of the private conversations that are prompted through enchanting distraction. From the bar to the chaise lounge, this is the journey of man's simple complexities, set within a sparingly elegant design, complemented by a contemporary baroque musical score sampling Vivaldi, Corelli and Albinoni. Stripping theatricality back to its rawest form, it reveals meaning in the most unconscious gesture, power struggles in the politest of exchanges, and hope in the blank spaces between strangers."
