Helen is set in an Egyptian hotel room, in the middle of the desert. Various people come to visit Helen as she explores what the cost of exiting the hotel room, and the comfortable life she has created for herself, will cost. This design was Inspired by the columns of Egypt, abandoned hotels, and the everlasting question of what it means to be a woman in society.
