Holi dust, a vibrant burst of happiness, took on a new meaning in our creation. We used it to show how people connect. So, Clair went through different spaces and people left their mark with the colors. In the personal space, she put the colors on herself in a seductive way: embracing herself. Then she reached out to Chanindu with those colors, showing desire. But he wiped them off, like saying no.

There's this pic of me covered in Holi dust too. It's like a snapshot of all those feelings. Like, you can see the whole story in that one colorful mess. It's crazy how something so fun can mean so much. 🌈

With simple knots and creative hands, I weaved a macramé cover-up for Clair, an embodiment of intimacy and connection. This intricate piece of art encapsulated the delicate threads that bind us together, echoing the beauty of human relationships. As she adorned it, the cover-up became a symbol of vulnerability and closeness, a visual reminder of the intricate dance of intimacy in our lives.

Clair's net veil became a thread that weaved through our storytelling, embodying the essence of human connections. As she ventured through the spaces, the veil transformed into a visual representation of her interactions.

In the social and public realms, vibrant textiles adorned the latter part of the veil, symbolizing the colorful array of connections we share with the world. Moving to personal connections, woolen braids and intricate knots were added, reflecting the warmth and complexity of relationships we hold dear. As she entered the intimate space, delicate lace adorned the veil, mirroring the fragile yet profound bonds formed in the closest moments.

This transformation of the veil was more than just fabric; it was a living embodiment of the human experience, a tangible reflection of the connections that shape us. 🌟🧶

The rhythm of music guided Clair and Chanindu through their emotional voyage, inviting the audience to join in their experience. As they traversed diverse spaces, music became their compass, leading the way.

In the social spaces, a vibrant melody echoed the bustling energy of connection, mirroring the tapestry of human interactions. As they stepped into the intimate space, a seductive tune spoke a language beyond words, reflecting their desires and vulnerabilities. Finally, the spiritual realm welcomed them with a soothing harmony, cradling their souls in tranquility.

Just as music intertwined with their journey, it intertwined with the hearts of the audience, creating an immersive symphony of emotions and connections. 🎶🌌

Meet Clair, a free-spirited soul deeply in tune with nature's rhythms. Proxemics, to her, isn't about barriers but beautiful connections. Dressed in a flowing white intimate dress, she glides through proxemics with effortless grace.

As if a dance with the universe, Clair extends an invitation to Chanindu, using subtle body language to express her desires. Sadly, her invitation is met with rejection. Yet, Clair remains undeterred, finding solace in her intimate space, where nature's embrace offers comfort.

In Clair's journey, we witness the intricate dance of human interactions, the harmonious blend of nature's serenity and the unspoken language of proxemics. 🌿🌟

we took five spaces and turned them into cool art pieces! Each space was like a totally different world where we could show human feelings and stuff.

First, we had four Proxemic spaces – the cozy one, the private one, the hangout-with-friends one, and the big public one. We used fancy curtains to make them look awesome! The curtains were like the magic that brought these spaces to life.

Then, we got even cooler! We made spaces that you can't really see but you can feel. Like, there's a secret intimate space that's all netty and nice. The personal space is like soft wavy silk, and the social space is full of bright colors and textures. We even used a super bright light to show the public space!

And guess what? We didn't stop there. We added a space that's like a hug from the universe. It was a light veil around Clair that made her look dreamy. But for Chanindu, we used ropes to show he wasn't really feeling it. Each rope was like a feeling, trying to keep him away.

Our art showed how we all want our own spots but we also wanna be part of something big. It was like a colorful puzzle of how we connect and sometimes don't. And it was just plain awesome!

Final Execution - Chanindu Breaking Boundaries 

# data[].attributes.body
Meet Chanindu: a soul who views human interaction as barriers. Ropes symbolize his inner struggles, wrapping his head and arms. As he navigates through proxemic spaces—public, social, personal, and intimate—his journey becomes a dance of liberation. Breaking the ropes, he unveils his defiance against societal confines.

Life's complexities weigh him down; he resists Clair's intimate invitation, distancing himself from connection. Seeking solace, he explores his own space, a quest for authenticity. Through it all, he transforms. In the final act, he embraces spirituality, baring his heart to the universe.

Chanindu's story mirrors our own pursuit of self-discovery—a voyage from confinement to freedom, from isolation to connection with the cosmos. It's about rejecting one form of closeness to embrace another, leaving behind physical tethers for spiritual expansion.

Have you ever thought about how the clothes you wear interact with your body? It's like a secret partnership between fabric and your skin that goes beyond just looking stylish.

This special connection is a lot like how friends huddle close in a group picture. Just like your pals make you feel comfortable and connected, clothes do the same for your body. They give you your own personal bubble, a bit like a superhero's shield. This invisible barrier is what scientists call "proxemics."

Incorporating lace and macrame, we embraced the essence of intimacy and feminine power. Clair donned the intricate dress with pride, symbolizing a celebration of our human connections.

Chanindu and Clair here, getting all geared up for our big day tomorrow. We're practicing hard to show you how proxemics and human bodies can mix and mingle in the most unexpected ways!

Our moves might still be a work in progress, but we're pouring our hearts into it. From close connections to the clash of personal spaces, we're exploring it all. Our goal? To break norms and let you see how beautiful and intriguing human interaction can be.

So, after a full day of workshop excitement, we were like, 'Hey, let's have some fun!' And guess what? Singing turned into dancing, and the lecturers were totally in on the action! Can you believe it? We grooved, shuffled, and rocked it out until 3 am – yep, you read that right! Lecturers and all, we just let loose and had a blast. Tired? Maybe. But totally worth it!

Udaya Sir's guidance was pivotal in merging human body space with proxemics. Using lace and fabric, he adorned Chandinus' body, introducing elements of sexuality and gender identity into proxemics. Our experimentation under his guidance led to intriguing insights into the interplay of these factors within personal space. Through his expertise, we explored diverse dimensions, adding depth to our project's narrative.

Proxemics is about how humans use space in communication. Our team decided to challenge the usual space norms. Malshi drew four spaces: intimate, personal, public, and social. Seeing how they connect made us question and explore the idea of adding a spiritual space within ourselves.

Oh man, that day was totally wild! First, we jumped into this muddy pit and played around like kids. Getting all messy and muddy was so much fun! Then we got into this local game called kabadi – it was like a crazy version of tag, but in teams. We were all running around, tagging each other and yelling, it was a blast.

Our teachers had this crazy idea for us. They wanted us to blend in with the environment like chameleons. So, some of us had to be all stealthy and camouflage ourselves, while others had to stand out like bright stars. It was like a game of hide and seek, but with our bodies.

We got super creative with it. Some of us lay down in the grass, trying to look like part of the landscape. Others stood against trees, making it seem like they were part of the trunk. And then, there were those who went all out – using body movements to create patterns and contrasts. It was like a living art show, right there in nature. It was pretty cool to see how we could use our bodies to tell different stories and express all sorts of things without saying a word. We were like living sculptures, playing with light and shadow, blending in and standing out. That whole experience was like an adventure in art and nature combined!

After that, things got kinda weird. Our teachers asked us to make a human bridge, like seriously?  I mean, it sounded cool, but it turned into a bit of a mess. People were falling, spraining their wrists and ankles – total chaos. We finally managed to do it somehow, but I still think there had to be an easier way.

But you know what? We didn't let that get us down. We kept on playing and having a blast. We played for hours, like two whole hours! Can you believe more than 30 of us squeezed in a cement pool there? It was like a human soup, but it was so much fun. Laughing, splashing, and just enjoying the moment – that day was one for the books!

Prasanna sir, told us to make a fake tattoo that shows what's deep inside us – you know, our secret thoughts and feelings. And get this, we had to team up with someone! My partner was Nisal.

I told him I'm a huge Naruto fan and totally into Japanese stuff. I also shared that I'm super honest and real, but at the same time, I'm scared of what people might say about me. And you know what's weird? I sometimes don't think too highly of myself.

Nisal had to draw this on my waist, which I thought was kinda cool because it's a part of my body I like. He sketched all these symbols that represented my loves, fears, and who I am. It was like showing a part of my soul right on my skin!

When we were done, I felt like I had this secret message just for me, even though it was fake. It was wild how art could tell so much about a person. And you know what? It was nice to share this with someone and have them understand a bit of what's going on inside my head.

# data[].attributes.body
So, there I was, up in front of everyone, talking about something that all of us think. You know, how grown-up stuff like movies and pictures can use the way people look to make money? Yeah, that's what I was talking about.

I tried to explain how these industries take the human body and turn it into something to sell – like using how people look to get attention and make people interested. It's kinda weird when you think about it, right? I also talked about how even skills and ideas can become things that people buy and sell in this big entertainment world.

I came across a snapshot that carries the essence of an unforgettable moment. It was during the prelude to the workshop, and there we stood – my friend Chethi and I – framed by the intricate design of a wired window. The soft sunlight filtered through, casting gentle shadows on our faces. With a quick click of the camera, I immortalized this candid instant, capturing our genuine smiles and the connection that only true friendship brings. Looking at the photograph, I'm reminded of the simple joys, the warmth of camaraderie, and the way even the smallest moments can weave themselves into the tapestry of our memories.

Hey there! So, in our project, we got super creative! We mixed up something called "proxemics" (it's about how people use spaces around them) with the cool places we found. Imagine this: we wanted to make something that blends how we use our bodies, the outside world, and even a special space we called "spiritual space"!

We discovered this awesome spot that was surrounded by different kinds of trees, with shade and everything! It felt like a secret oasis in the middle of everything.

So, here's the fun part: we wanted to say, "Hey, no more rules about how far apart we should be from each other!" We wanted to show that everyone has their own way of using space, and that's totally okay. And guess what? We even made up our own space called "spiritual space" – how cool is that? 🌌✨

So, our task was to hunt down the perfect spot for our project. Sounds like a treasure hunt, right? 🗺️✨ We didn't know exactly what we'd do there, but we had to choose the best spot and tell them why it's like, 'the one.' After exploring different places, we stumbled upon this magical ecosystem with all kinds of trees – you name it, they had it! Plus, it's all shady and cozy. And guess what? It's like right in the center of everything, kinda like the heart of the place. ! 🌳🌟

Picture this: the sun shining, usual faces all around, and the air buzzing with excitement. As we gathered for our project, Dharana sir and our mentors had a surprise in store. They led us through a series of icebreaker activities that turned out to be an incredible bonding experience. From the funniest dance moves to sharing our secret little quirks, we all let loose and laughed together.

But that's not all – they even introduced us to the magic of breathing exercises! Inhale, exhale – it was a calming journey into mindfulness that left us feeling centered and ready for the creative adventure ahead. By the end of the day, we not only conquered our insecurities but also discovered a new level of camaraderie. Who knew warm-up exercises could be so much fun and bring us all closer?

1. At the beginning, we were all pretty confused about the topic. It sounded complex and way over our heads.

2.We decided to sit down and talk about it as a group. As we chatted and shared our thoughts, things started to make more sense.

3.During our discussions, we realized that there were some main points we could focus on. We honed in on body standardization, the organ market, marketing gender identities (LGBTQ+), adult content and entertainment, and the human knowledge market.

4.With so many of us in the group (16 to be exact), we thought it would be smart to divide up the work. Everyone took on a different aspect based on their interests and skills.

5. We each brainstormed ideas for our individual parts. This gave us some really interesting and unique angles to approach our topic.

6.To make our presentation more engaging, we created prototypes and sketches to illustrate our ideas. It's always easier to understand with visuals, right?

7.Once we had our research and visuals ready, we started putting our presentation together. It was like solving a puzzle – making all the pieces fit just right.

8.We thought it would be cool to create a video to go along with our presentation. This way, we could show things visually and explain them at the same time.

9. Before the actual presentation, we practiced a bunch of times. It helped us feel more confident and comfortable with what we were going to say.

10.When the day finally came, we were all a bit nervous but also excited. Each of us took turns presenting our part. It was kind of like a well-orchestrated dance – we knew our moves!

11.And guess what? Our hard work paid off! The presentation went really well. We managed to take this big, confusing topic and break it down into something that was clear and understandable.

So there you have it – from confusion to clarity, from brainstorming to presenting, and from practicing to success. It was all about working together and turning a challenging task into a big win! 🌟🎉

I never heard the word "proxemics" until Udaya sir shared it along with some PDFs on our WhatsApp group. It's funny how we've always understood the idea, but never knew the fancy word for it. It's like knowing something all along, but finally putting a name to it. Like, we've always sensed how close or far to be from people, right?

Hey, listen up! So, we went on this crazy cool adventure to Mudannapola State in Wariyapola, Sri Lanka. And oh boy, it's like a hidden paradise! There are these awesome natural pools and mud pits – you can totally splash around and have a blast!

But that's not all. The best part? The place is like a big, cozy green hug. Everywhere you look, there's lush greenery! It's like nature's own painting.

We got to chill and relax in the warm mud and even take a dip in the super refreshing natural pools. Imagine feeling all that soothing nature vibe – it's like getting a big hug from the earth itself!

And guess what? It's not just about having fun. It's also about feeling that awesome connection between our bodies and nature. It's like we became part of this amazing earthy symphony.
