San Francisco, California. Awake, again, at 3am. M. Cain draws how they feel. The compelling and raw line drawings illustrate Electrical Sensitivity (EHS): the sleeplessness, headaches, and ear ringing.
Idea for an animation:a graph of a year in the life of a man. It starts and continues slowly with the man getting 'pinged' with tiny holes through his body as by a soft breeze. As more and more holes blow through him the man becomes confused and dizzy. Then, through the holes, you begin to see the sky, or whatever is happening behind him. He does not fight this, is just too tired to care. Finally he calmly sits on the floor as the last holes completely disappear him. While the theme music is also putting You to sleep with it's creepy dissonance. M. Cain 2019

M. Cain says, “I wanted the drawings to show what EHS feels like. The line is like a thread, you can pull through ideas. They start with a line and they become an inner informant to a deeper layer.”
Read this EMF Health Effects 2019 Survey for a better understanding of EHS.
This last drawing reaches for hope, a return to the Earths natural frequencies. Thank you M. Cain.
