Inside Space is an exploration of feeling, trauma, and generational survival.
The tentacles are extrusions of raw emotion; initially hidden beneath calm exteriors, a storm of pain builds until it canโt be concealed any longer - then it ruptures through the surface, the pent up energy uncoiling through the wounds and out into the world.
Sometimes these emotions canโt be hidden, and over the course of years
they might become intertwined with our sense of selves. Sometimes the pain is the only thing we can depend on. Then, the tentacles become more than wounds; they can become our motivations, our armour, or weaponsโฆ our survival skills.
They become our legs.
