FINAL PIECE

Today I shot my final piece. I have known for a while that my final piece was going to be my challenge of not touching males.

A lot earlier in the project I began tallying the amount of times I had physical connection with the opposite sex when in a situation which was obviously difficult to avoid. The tallies show that it is almost impossible to not have that physical connection and that it seems to be part of human life. Even in the interviews which I have done with those who keep the law the mention that in some situations it is impossible to avoid, therefore having that physical connection.

My video shows myself walking down a busy street and I avoid any human connection at all cost. Whilst shooting the video and avoiding people it made me feel bad for being so cautious knowing that I am not better then any one else and that human connection is a normal ritual of life. Maybe not having human connection, even the smallest amount can change a persons outlook on others around them.

Everyday life rituals such as getting on a busy tube is something that the majority of the capital does and therefore sort of brings us together. We all get on transport to go somewhere as we all have lives to live, we all have places to be and so we do it together.

I realise that this has gone off the topic of Judaism and I did not mean for that to happen, however it has become an interest and it is an issue which I want to carry on looking into. I want to keep on looking at the importance of physical connection and how it can make a person feel.
