Abstract
This work explores the accumulation of tension with no proper release. The fall of the wooden blocks does not mean that the tension built up has been resolved, rather only to seem like it has been. The idea for this work came from a connection between familial relationships and the state of their physical home – how items and belongings are allowed to pile up. It is only when a noticeable mess has been created that we become frustrated and angry. But these frustrations are never discussed, only dealt with in silence and over time, so as to seem put together for the sake of image and ‘peace.’ It is a cycle.
