Spark is a deep exploration of love, mid-twenties angst, and co-dependency. There are degrees of hope sprinkled within the story of Serenity and Keith that are veiled by worry and resentment. Spark was inspired by my own experience of wanting something more from someone I love deeply but still feeling unfilled. What do you do next when you need more but the more means possibly walking away?
