What might infinity feel like? What does it look like? How can we cope with the thought of infinity and endless time?
For this project, we were asked to come up with a series of questions. To take it a step further, we then created a project inspired by the topic and questions that we brainstormed. So for mine, I thought of infinity. Infinity for me has always been a hard idea to mentally grasp- not specifically infinity, but endlessness. Death, time, and space itself all come to mind when thinking of endlessness; all of which seem to transcend the understanding of human knowledge even to this day.
So in light of that, what I created was my representation of "endlessness," made of string, nails, and soft wood. I formed three squares out of the wood, all varying in size, and stuck the nails in them, like a border. Then, by weaving the string around the nails in numerous different ways, I was able to create a pattern within each of the squares. The final step to the process will be to layer them behind one another, from largest to smallest, mimicking the form of a never-ending tunnel.
