"Sleep Succumbs and Father and I explores the thematic ideas of sleep in association with growth and relationships. Sleep is a necessary practice for every human being, however, personally, the simple practice of sleep represents changes within one’s life. For most of my life, I’ve lived within an apartment block where rooms were close together, and I was personally sharing a bedroom with my sister. Moving to Australia and growing up, the opportunity of being able to have my own single-person room led me to gain a sense of privacy that was unfounded during my childhood. However, since my dad has had to stay back in my home country, I started to realise the isolation and loneliness that comes with growing up. This can be represented as a journey; as a baby laying with one’s parents to moving into a single-person bed."
