Blue Silk is a puppet fairy tale that centers around the relationship between two characters: Mr. Trenchfoot and The Puppet. Through their relationship, Blue Silk explores the parallels between substance abuse and widespread consumerist addiction.
It tells a story of consumption, addiction, and dependence on resources that are ultimately limited. Nearing its death, The Puppet in Blue Silk stands as a martyr on the brink of life and object-being. Its story serves as a warning: just as our bodies have finite resources, so does the Earth.
<aside> The Puppet reminds us that consumption is necessary for survival, while it prompts us to consider how we can consume in a manner that is both healthy and sustainable.

It acknowledges how our actions contribute to a larger issue and asks us to take measures to avoid making those mistakes in the future.
