How to release the pressure of a
conversation by having an activity
you can do at the same time?
My project explores the feeling of home and finding comfort as well as finding a way to make connections. During the process I felt uncomfortable talking to people, approaching them and connecting with them. I mostly observed but never approached. I tried exploring different places within my neighbourhood and finding out why I feel comfortable in one space more than the other. For some places
it was the number of people, some seemed more private, and some seemed unwelcoming. I decided to do the opposite - I went outside and waited for the people to approach me. By activity-based set-up/interaction I release some anxiety from the
conversation.
