This work tells the story of a young woman who is shooting heroin in a bathroom down in the city at 3 am. During her high, she's floating above the city, moving towards the steps of city hall, bringing her problems there. This work is about harm reduction, public awareness, and the current politics over addiction and homelessness in big cities such as San Francisco, CA.
