The Machine Sleeps Tonight

As for now, no one is present in the room; neither doctor nor patient. Only an anaesthesia machine, takes a deep breath, releasing air from its mechanical lungs, breathing at a steady calm pace. A big shadow is cast upon the room - an inflated balloon, breathing in sync with the machine's ventilator, winking at its saviour with its single eye.
Following the traditions of art in the medical environment, Peled is searching for methods that not only lean on escapist encounters but also seek to voice dark humor, doubt, and suffering.
