Work Overview
In Transition draws inspiration from the Grainger Museum Courtyard and uses the open roof as a representation of a spacecraft with a window to the "universe". Stillness is represented through a lone passenger's confinement and willingness to return to their bare essential at the reward of reaching Planet Perfection. This piece follows the individual's transition, concluding before their arrival, with the journey explored through mimicking sounds of droning mechanics and glissandi. Emotions that are also explored include the possible dread, excitement, certainty, or even contentment the traveler could feel as they experience the interim of going towards the unknown. Upon arrival, if the individual can only contribute perfection to Utopia, can they maintain their identity?
