​“Lie In It” is a private performance depicting selected stages of grief. The stages represented are: Pain, Depression, and Hope/Rebirth. A rule of 3 is implemented throughout the piece: three stages, three outfits, three poses. 
 
Pain: a blue outfit, fetal position. 
Depression: a black outfit, lying on stomach. 
Hope / Rebirth: a white outfit, lying on back peacefully/“funeral casket”
 
The physical marks left on the body from lying on the wire bed are meant to display the emotional impressions left during each stage.
