As previously seen through my work, I am fascinated by human behaviors and experiences. I think that the brain is an object largely underestimated by many and is just in the beginning stages of being understood (somewhat). I am very interested in Bill Viola's work with water and the feelings of being submerged. He recreates an experience that, for many is scary, and spins it into an almost heavenly and soothing one.

Recently, I have been reading a lot about mood spikes on individuals. My project serves as a platform to study subjects as they undergo a "positive spike" in their mood. I want to explore the relations between a physical sensation and the positivity that comes from it. It has been said that plunging in cold water can be very , yet positively good for a persons overall mood. I would create videos that recreate the sensation of dipping into cold water, and complement it by providing a cold bath for the audience (I need to figure out how I would go about this).
