The piece focuses on the way one seeks to satisfy one's ego through romantic relationship and by projecting one's desires onto others. The main character slowly gets lost into a turmoil of illusions and misperceptions of others, while she is unknowingly falling in love with different aspect of herself that she sees in others. This irresistible attraction brings her to a confused state in which the line between dreams and reality is unclear. Out of control, she falls prey to her projections and crosses into the other side of the mirror, where she becomes a captive. Eventually, what she sees in those projections will make her realize her own emotionnal emptyness.
