Incubation

In addition to discussing the tactile actions, I also want to talk about the influence of the entire social environment. Why do people develop an attachment to objects? The relationship between a person and their attachment object provides a secure way for them to feel a close connection to the object and the world around them. This attachment relationship is a way of coping with the uncertainty and change in a fluid world. I have chosen some images from my past that reflect my living environment. Living in a dense, crowded city environment during a time of failed revolution, I strongly felt like I was a part of an unfeeling machine that never stops. Despite this, there was a strong sense of alienation between individuals, which was unsettling. I felt that everything around me - the language, clothing, sounds - that expressed collectiveness and groups seemed synthetic, with no source, cut off from roots, and washed away of danger. Perhaps new ways of connection are emerging from the microcosm.
