Emotional distress usually originates from non-physical sources and may be the result of regret, grief, or loss, amongst others. In many cases, the distress can build up over time and result in the emotional pain of strong intensity that negatively affects someone’s life, which in certain instances may become permanent and incurable. The artist in this work uses physical materials and kinetic systems to reflect on the gradual emotional collapse we experience during moments of despair.
