I wanted it to be an everyday journey so I decided to walk it from my house down to the University on the Waterfront, a distance of about two and a half miles.
I started out with the idea to maintain the shape of my space for the whole journey, but obstacles on the way made this impossible. It was a constant struggle to try and maintain the shape of the sphere. I was getting tired and my hands were cut and bleeding from sharp bits on the wire. The fact that it was not a solid structure added to the pressure to bend and manipulate it to fit rather than struggle to maintain and protect it.
I constantly felt the pressure to compromise the space. Trying to maintain that shape, even only for a short time, it felt so heavy and all I wanted to do was condense it so that it was more manageable. The sphere represented the constant struggle and difficulty of maintaining personal space and boundaries on an everyday basis.
