When the differences between us can cause so much divide, how can we ever live together? That’s the question posed by this installation, which envisions these differences as abstract shapes: a square, a circle, a triangle. Your religion may be a square, where you’re from may be a circle, what you eat may be a triangle, and you take that shape with you when you’re out in the world. For this project, the shapes are boxes that are worn as part of the Hello Wood Carnival procession, but the only way to access the coordinating structure is to enter through their respective gateways: a square through the square entryway, a circle through a circle, and so on. Once inside the structure, these costumes can be shed - unboxed, even - representing the idea that we can only truly live together if we overlook the differences between us.
