Fernhill Prezley performs a stream-of-consciousness piece at Jersey Fresh in May 2021, with overlapping vocal parts cycling through images of tides, walls, and a tiger waiting to be tamed. The work repeats lines like "I beg, I beg" and asks "Am I part of the cure or part of the disease?" exploring confinement, danger, and the search for redemption.
