The Artist's Obligation

The human mind is capable of many things, but the most startling of these is obsession. Obsession can ruin our lives, destroy our families and leave us destitute and without hope. Enter Samai Katama, an elderly artist driven to the brink of obsession in her art by her parents, her culture and even her art itself. Throughout The Artist's Obligation we are painted a picture of this woman, her struggle and her ideals. The story builds to a grotesque climax, sealing the fate of one driven by absolute obsession; a fate which is her ultimate Obligation.
