Description

Shifting between states of mind - There are times during day when it is extremely hard to focus on task. The mind is constantly occupied by distruptive thoughts so it is difficult to feel present. Either you procrastinate during work or cannot relax on your break. The object signifies the change of environment, a treshold that allows you to move from one world to another. The "shift" forces you to focus on the moment (going through) and therefore clears ones thoughts since you are forced to think about the action which is not automatic as walking through a generic door.

"We touch to assure ourselves of reality. Our tactile experiences are elemental." Anni Albers
