Personal space vs a sense of belonging

Brilliant installation by Dawn Ng, "I Fly Like Paper Get High Like Planes". 

Came across this browsing tumblr.

To me these paper planes act like intruders into our personal space.
Perhaps this (politically?) represents the feeling of being part of 'the passive', by being put on the spot in a public space. Social interaction vs emotion of nostalgia (yearning for privacy).

How does this further relate to our project? Well, the artist created a space, a surrounding for an individual / or a group of people to feel a variety of emotions. Social interaction possible, but maybe not likely? Could create a space for out project. If we are going with an environment such as the tube, we could set up a creative space (depending on what we ultimately decide to do....). Lets remember to question the politics (representation/interaction/outcomes) of out project as well. 




Peace x
