MY RESEARCH EXPLORES THE EMOTIONAL RESPONSE OF THE BODY WHEN LEFT IN ISOLATION, DISTANCED FROM CONNECTION AND ENERGY. A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF AWARENESS AND INSTINCT EMERGE WHEN LEFT WITH A SINGULAR SOURCE OF ENERGY (THE SELF), FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME. IN JUXTAPOSITION, WHEN ISOLATED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD THE SELF CAN DEVELOP SUCH AN INTENSE NEED FOR STIMULUS, THAT IT’S OWN SOURCE OF ENERGY BECOMES A MEANS OF SALVATION AND SOLACE. THIS INTERNAL KINDLING OF ENERGY IS WHAT I CALL PHANTOM CONNECTIVITY.
