“In “Son, Can’t You See I’m Burning?” a grieving son navigates a world where reality is structured by fantasy, echoing the profound insights of Hegel and Lacanian psychoanalysis. As he confronts his mother’s tragic death due to severe burns, his journey leads through a surreal dream sequence and culminates in a shocking awakening at her wake, where the facade of mourning unravels, exposing the unsettling and unrepresentable “Real” concealed behind the comforting screen of fantasy.”
