I wanted to create an installation that represents the connection between life and the absolute necessity of human interaction. Going into this, i didn’t have much planning other than I knew I wanted to hang the IV bags and have polaroids inside them. Taking the polaroids were definitely the most challenging part of this installation. I wanted to get genuine interactions of people, and that was difficult given I had ti get very close with the camera.

I feel this project addresses drawing into space by using all of the plastic tubing to create different shapes, patterns, and designs. I think meticulously connecting them to certain bags gives it that spatial drawing aspect.

The groups that used yarn, wrapping it around trees, really helped me figure out how I wanted to configure the plastic tubing. Yes, I could’ve just connected them to anything or not even used them at all, but I wanted to expand the feeling of connection.

One thing I would definitely do differently would be to use a camera that has the capability to zoom in and make it easier to take pictures, especially since I am definitely not a photographer. One thing I considered was to maybe add more bags. Initially I wanted to install around 20, but I think it’s actually still successful with just the 10 that I have.
