Navigating the Fragile Journey of Self-Discovery
Chronic illness serves as a metaphorical backdrop for exploring personal vulnerability and societal threats. The character Audie's journey is marked by stages encapsulated in the acronym DREAM: denial, resistance, exploration, acceptance, and manifestation. Initially, Audie embodies denial by insisting on independence despite needing help. As she encounters Sigo, she enters resistance, acknowledging the possibility of support without fully surrendering her belief in solitude. This resistance allows her to begin exploring what life might look like with another person involved, signifying her gradual openness to connection and collaboration in her journey.
