Wet Mess peels back their own layers to build a devastating feeling of intimacy, and reflects the familiar feeling of wanting to tear one's skin off, or oneself apart. It's body horror for cis people and body freedom for trans people.

The set shifts and morphs throughout, with what appear like long pregnancy pillows shifting into phallic structures, into a pair of legs, into a chaise longue. An LED sign sends us messages throughout, scaffolding the work with heart-breaking and resonant sentiments; \u201cThis is not a dream. You are afraid.
