Over the course of the past year and a half populations across the globe have been made to reconsider themselves and their relationship to others while moving through the day-to-day activities of life in ways never previously considered.
Individuals suddenly find themselves choosing between remaining within the isolated space of their own homes or going out into the world and newly considering their own physicality in it and that of the people they encounter. A focus on outward presentation has come about, thoughts of personal precautions and newly developed judgement calls on others rock what had been unremarkable, mundane tasks. Split second calculations based on ever-evolving criteria shape new opinions of passersby, and we now measure occupant density within spaces we used to so casually inhabit. Our experience in the world is being reshaped daily by the level of comfort and discomfort we are now viscerally encountering at each step outside the door of our homes.
