Criss Cross ICF - For Sale - 2016 Trakahner Novice Event Horse
The video presents a brief, multi‑speaker lyrical fragment that reads like a fragmented conversation or song. Three speakers (A, B, and C) address a figure named Sam and each voice images of resistance (“saved tides that I tried to swim against”), breakdown (“broke me down upon my knees”), pleading (“I beg him, please”), and existential questioning (“Am I a part of the cure? I am a part of the disease?”). Repeated motifs include tides, tigers, walls, a ticking clock, missed opportunities, and the tension between cure and disease. The piece oscillates between pleading, self‑reflection, and cryptic commands (“Shoot an apple off my head”), creating a mood of inner conflict, urgency, and ambiguous hope. The overall effect is a poetic meditation on personal struggle, the passage of time, and the dual nature of agency and affliction.
