Prompt: The prompt for this project was to create altered intimacy. We pair up in this project to explore notions of shared space and closeness and how situations of discomfort slow our perceptions of time.

In this piece, we wished to further explore our perceptions of uncomfortable situations by using materials to bind ourselves to each other. As the materials got stronger we got closer and closer together until it was suffocating. We combined performative art with effects and edits to further emphasize this notion of discomfort.
