An Interactive Sculpture Exhibit. The ways we deal with stress can affect other people. As more people press their stress into the sculptures, the pieces will become more marked by the influence of others. We do this to other people psychologically every day, but the results are invisible to the human eye. Stress Flesh makes this invisible psychological process visible through a physical metaphor and invites the audience to be more mindful of each other.
