The purpose of Blind was to step into the the shoes of somebody completely on the opposite side of the spectrum as me. I wanted to question reality not only for myself but also the audience. The only way I knew how to accomplish this goal was to blind myself and completely give my intutuion to complete strangers and ask them to help me travel through the world. I wanted to see how it would feel to lose all sense of reality and give up what I feel is the most important sense an individual has.
I started at Benson library and made my way to Jack in the Box. My sense of reality changed completely once I put the blindfold on. My biggest fear was running into something or slipping and falling. As I continued my journey I realized that my fear of getting injured was taking over my ability to function properly in my new reality. When i finally reached Jack in the Box and took off my blindfold I quickly gained my confidence back which I take for granted.
