Mediations takes us through the last day of the artist’s life with a Dying Eva laboring to complete her final exhibit. Moving in and out of memory, Hesse’s life plays back in a series of episodes reflecting earlier incarnations–including Young Eva confronting a traumatic childhood, and Adult Eva’s complex relationship with her husband, artist Tom Doyle, and an intensely focused creative process. In the end, an unlikely angel of death appears to help her make peace. Through the expressionistic evocation of Eva Hesse’s story, Meditations explores the profound human desire to create meaningful work.
