Loose Intentions. Tight Pajamas.
Freedom and obligation are often at odds. Loose Intentions is the feeling of being able to take risks, do what we want, change our mind, without putting the thoughts and opinions of others ahead of our own. Tight Pajamas is a metaphor for being constricted, confined to decisions driven by what others think. The series “Loose Intentions. Tight Pajamas.” explores the paradoxes we lead as humans, craving freedom, autonomy, yet simultaneously wanting approval, community. How far does each of us go with our loose intentions? Do our tight pajamas prohibit us from enjoying the freedoms we attain? In the face of change, do we move on, or back pedal? Do we take behavioral risks to avoid emotional risks?
