I found the need to further dig into the foundation of the idea of capturing everyday movements by reflecting my inner world too. The concept of entanglement with objects further branched out into entanglements within. Time and the environment exist as it is with authentic actions being captured. And everyday movement most intimate and personal are actions or rituals of self-care. They take place in daily life and the materials and objects that participate in the process intertwine with my body. It enters my body and consumes it unlike other everyday movements that entail the use of other objects where the human is the consumer. With our boundaries blurred, the body becomes the site of the object to perform or act upon. The sense of consumption also links with the emotional space at this point in time—being consumed in a sense of inertia, incubation and the entangled state of mind.
