Craking My Balls

The question leads me to think of the audience's reaction after realising the relationship between inner voice and outer pressure. I was thinking that the artwork needs to bring out some positive impact or else the message of the artwork would be very burdening and sounds passive. Then, the idea of conceptualising this intention using the law of cycle stroke my mind. If we could break the expectations, then we are freed! To "rescue" our voices, is either by removing the expectations that imprint on us, or directly breaking the energy that is pressing on us.


Therefore, I came out with 2 rough ideas to present that thought:


Arranging the balls in a circle, it suggests that if there is a certain change imposed to the outer pressure at a certain point, the chain of inner voices being passively suppressed under the strong pressure would change. Execution 1 shows that the stencil on the outer wall fades away with the paint being wiped away. We wipe away the outer voices to reveal our inner voices. The weight and loudness of the sound are also adjusted into different volume accordingly.

Execution 2 gives a more extreme interpretation of the thought where the balls are broken in different degrees to free the inner voices. The idea was later presented casually in the class as a raw idea in expanding the impression of the artwork.
