Second Skin is a strange odyssey through dream-time as a woman discovers aspects of herself in a dark twin, enigmatic artificial females, and a sacrificial fish...While making her way through abandonment and loss to unification and hope, water becomes a medium for her transformation, fire extinguishes guilt, and gender is only a figment of imagination.
