A woman caught between animus and anima struggles for her Self, which seems in the process of dissolution. The horror of the Self to be without any self-image is at the same time the almost mystical desire for a kind of self-perception before of self-conscience. DUST to DUST traces the stages of a self-dissolution or a metamorphosis, the falling apart and rejection of all images.

Agnes feels stuck. Unlike her best friend, Lydie, who’s moved to New York and is now expecting a baby, Agnes still lives in the New England house they once shared as graduate students, now working as a professor at her alma mater. A ‘bad thing’ happened to Agnes a few years ago and, since then, despite her best efforts, life hasn’t gotten back on track.

An odyssey through time and memory, centered on a place in New Jersey where—from wilderness, and then, later, from a home—love, loss, struggle, hope and legacy play out between couples and families over generations.
