Narrative Planning

            People want things to make them comfortable, either mentally, socially, or physically, and are willing to sacrifice one type of comfort for the other depending on what is important to them. People set boundaries, put up posters, cover themselves in cloth in order to feel comfortable with themselves, to not feel so vulnerable. Our lives our built on layers upon layers of assigned and inherent values we have created to feel secure and in control. As humans we often think of ourselves different than other animals, when in actuality they probably have a similar process for understanding the world, we are just more capable. Humans often are subject to the wild/instinctual reactions they accuse other animals of. When you catch someone in a comfortable or compromising position or mindset they are prone to impulsive irrational reactions.

The goal for my work is to destabilize the comfortability and reason the viewers have built up for themselves. To make a piece subverted from their normal logic they step down from the pedestal they put themselves/their life is built on.
