The artist inserts her image digitally into TV and film scenes from Twilight, True Blood, and Being Human. As the (replaced) hopeful of shared immortality, she is locked in staring contests with Edward, Bill, and Mitchell - the leading male vampires from these series. Time is suspended in the staring contests where no one wins and no one loses.
