Floating Walls was created to explore the physical and psychological space that one encounters when surrounded and feeling surrounded by walls, both literally and metaphorically. Throughout this process I wanted to explore and challenge the question: “Do we have the ability to create a space for one self and others where the walls don’t contain us?” - Antonio Brown
