THINGS (human bodies) FALL (gain and lose various bacteria which cause it to) APART (bloat and decay).

My initial idea revolved around my interest in the seemingly peculiar way that the body falls apart, which involves first being filled with gas (essentially, filling up). While this obviously seems counter productive, it could be said that this pattern occurs a lot in almost everything we know. I hope to compare the decomposition of the human body– specifically in the stage of bloating– to everyday structures and processes. While this sounds vague, I have specific ideas in mind: the removal of a building to reveal a field, the destruction of one’s own biases in order to understand others, and the bloating of the body before its eventual decay. I hope to juxtapose these three ideas (the body is a must, while the other two examples are open to constructive criticism) by placing 3 structural recreations of these processes (using different materials for each, like wire, clay, and sound (?)) in front of three very concrete illustrations of the literal processes going on (not open for interpretation or abstract thinking).

Here is a sort of idea collage that I created in order to convey my idea. I have inserted a page break before the images of decomposition in case anyone is adverse to gross shit.
