Motorcycle racing disrupts the quiet of a neighborhood, causing frustration for a parent trying to put a young child to sleep. As the noise escalates, local residents grow concerned, prompting police involvement that fails to quell the activity. Rumors circulate about the youths and their home lives. "Lightmare" captures the neighborhood's anxiety while using negative space to challenge perceptions of threat and safety, contrasting the seriousness of the situation with the triviality of the disturbances.
