A Bigger World

Explanation: When the participant looks through the eye slot in the tallest sphere closest to them they will clearly see the message in the sphere that is farthest away from them and held in line with the first sphere they are looking through. However, as other spheres move into alignment with the two outer spheres, the field of vision is narrowed and less of the message can be seen. This field of vision narrows yet again with each successive sphere moving into alignment until the participant is only able to see a small part of the message.

Lesson: This project aims to articulate how one’s view of their own future is largely impacted by basic needs many people take for granted every day. Each sphere represents an obstacle in the form of a basic need that is not being met for the person. When aligned with the outer spheres these obstacles create a tunnel vision effect that mimics how hard it can be to see a bigger world of opportunities when facing those obstacles.
