Helen A's Cushion
The plump cushion rests against the arm of Helen A’s chair, its fabric worn smooth from frequent use. Its embroidered floral pattern hints at domestic pretenses, though the deception is deliberate. Helen spins idle chatter while Doctor presses her on the purge methods, her thumb casually lifting the cushion’s edge to conceal the album beneath—an act mirroring her regime’s hidden brutality. The object’s placement becomes a stage for power play, its softness belying the coercion it masks.
