  My project, which I’ve titled “The Corporeal Barrier”, is a showcase of the inexplicable deterrent everyone feels at one time or another. I’ve titled it this because it tries to show that discouraging feeling as if it had a body. The intentions and explanations of these “people” are unknown, as is true with their emotional counterpart, the only clear message being the desire for you to stop. In this instance I’m using school, but that’s only because it’s the most immediate example for me, the idea isn’t limited to education. In fact, I’ve found the most frustrating examples to be when it’s something that most others enjoy, but you just can’t.
