A fault breaks through a wallpaper (almost as if it was a scar on the skin of the domestic walls) and like an earthquake it reveals the depth of what was hidden behind the wallpaper: the awareness that nothing is really safe, something will breaks the ongoing balance sooner or later.
What is the cause of the surface faulting? The very fragility of the walls themselves symbolically representing unspoken words, power relationships, buried feelings now erupting.
