shifting
The complex dynamics found within a relationship are not only disclosed
through words, but also through gesture, touch and the spaces in between.
Through the discussion of apathy, uncertainty, fear and sadness, Shifting
examines the signs and responses to doubt, stress and the progress of time
within intimate relationships.
After entering the stage of a "serious" engagement, lovers begin to lose a
basic tenderness. Multi-tasking, monotony and stress consume moments
previously
dedicated to a partner's tender act. Becoming rushed and
discontent in our lives, we allow the comforts of domestic life to shift our
priorities. Necessity and function begin to overshadow individuality,
identity and intimacy. As this change occurs, some of us slowly drift into
the realm of doubt, repetition and neglect.
