Singularly, leaves have a small significance in density
Yet when there is a bundle of leaves, together they create a more dense space
This is similar with rocks
Singularly, in space, a single rock has little significance
Yet as a group, the space is filled.
And together, as these items were found on the line
They fit together because of the space in density that they fill
The clear yet gleaming fishing string symbolizes the unseen density in the air and space
The beginning of my ideas started with interpreting the word “Density” into something less scientific. Many people thought of density in a mass, volume and weight aspect, but I had a different view.
The concept of line density, and matter density through materials was the first thing that came to mind.
My first proposals began with Creating density
filling up jars with leaves, sticks, rocks, and different kinds of natural substances
By soaking them in water, it would have them scientifically create density.
My next proposal was Walking through density
Also using the concept of line density
I thought to paint or draw on the walls a space of density
by drawing thin, tight lines to create a walkway through the wall.
My last proposal was also using the concept of using materials to create density
I used several techniques to create a sporadic and crowded space.
I find this video interesting because it explains density through the motion of dance.
—>The seeds on this dandelion are very compact, where the base of the seeds root into the stem, there is high density
—->Yet towards the tips of the seeds, the density exapnds due to the fuzzy ends.
—> The density of this wire fence, has almost completely dynamicly dense.
DENSITY:is a physical property of matter, as each element and compound has a unique density associated with it. Density defined in a qualitative manner as the measure of the relative “heaviness” of objects with a constant volume |

| Mathematical Definition of Density |
| The formal definition of density is mass per unit volume. Usually the density is expressed in grams per mL or cc. Mathematically a “per” statement is translated as a division. cc is a cubic centimeter and is equal to a mL Therefore,Density= Mass _________ Volume |
| Mass vs. Weight: Although the terms mass and weight are used almost interchangeably, there is a difference between them. Mass is a measure of the quantity of matter, which is constant all over the universe. Weight is proportional to mass but depends on location in the universe. Weight is the force exerted on a body by gravitational attraction (usually by the earth).Example: The mass of a man is constant. However the man may weigh: 150 lbs on earth, 25 lbs on the moon (because the force of gravity on the moon is 1/6 that of the earth), and be “weightless” in space. |

As I begin my walk
I have my headphones
plugged deep inside my ears
Not other sound
could get past these songs
of the moment
But, as I’m walking
and taking pictures
and ‘trying’ to find deep down
what this project is truly
meant to do for me.
I realize…
I can’t do it alone
Assignments like these
are things that need to be
passed onto other people
People who have no knowledge of ‘The Line’
Or knowledge of letting yourself go
Need see the little things in life
It’s the little things, that make a big significance.
—Walking on the sidewalk. A rubberband folded in the shape of a heart<3—
—Eventually all of these seeds will blow away. Where will they end up?—
—Someone took the time to tie this knot. Who? Why? For what reason?—
Therefore;
I brought my friend Sean……. 
I wanted him
to experience
the places
where my mind and body has travelled
These passings of experiences
will continue with multiple people
After recognizing that Sean
truly accepted and appreciated the experiences
I carried him on, and the new ways of thinking
I hope other people will have the same thoughts

I sit looking at this landscape. The only thing between me and this other “world” is this white fence. There isn’t a door, or a way to approach it without ruining it by jumping over it. I can only simply wonder what these things can do. The swing may not be a swing if I’ve never used it in this other world. that door may not be just a door. Maybe a Portal?
How would anyone know what something is unless we try.
But I can only stand and wonder.
These portals can be any figment of your imagination.
They can lead to your worst nightmare, or your heaven.
Depends on how you process, think and act.
