This work was written with a person going through difficult times in mind. I sought to create an uplifting narrative, or a "map" toward a better reality. The piece works by allowing the rather harsh and curt material space to breathe, allowing it to transform into something different, just as we must “make lemonade out of lemons” in our lives.
