Group Activity

Group activities are prime examples of the social nature of humans. They build relationships, confidence, help people learn, and teach social skills vital to surviving within a greater society. Social activities are even hardwired into the brain. Without other people we are left underusing are brain, and in drastic cases that can lead to health and mental issues.

In my series, group activities are acted out, but are stripped of the group itself. The result is something that leaves the viewer uneasy, signifying the mandatory nature of the group. Without them, we are left with no logical conclusion, and thus, to us no logic.
