For my third transformation, I poked holes throughout the model and threaded floss between the points. Some connections go from the ceiling to the floor, others across the room, and still others are tied between two pieces of floss so that they aren't actually tied to a piece of the model.
I wanted to explore the idea of space and time as points of memory and remembrance that we weave together to form a complete picture. Each memory we have in our minds is linked to an infinite number of other memories which are linked to more infinite memories and so on. The bounds of memory within space and time are limitless, especially when considered as a whole - the memories of every individual that has ever been on earth - versus our own singular memories. The memories we have contribute to who we are as people, influencing every aspect of our lives: our actions, thoughts, emotions, feelings, relationships, etc. They form the spaces around us. Each piece of floss represents a single memory or emotion, which led to another remembrance or memory in the form of another piece of floss. Therefore, this has transformed the space into a type of snapshot of the inside of my mind; a roadmap of memory in time and space.
