My integration piece is meant to conceptually integrate me into the socially created space of smoking areas. Smoke is one byproduct of smoking. Where does the smoke cloud go? Is it also contained in the smoking area? These are the questions that my piece seeks to answer.
Visually, my piece represents a cloud of smoke. My upper body is the cloud, and my legs and feet are black to disappear into the surrounding. My upper body will be grey and covered with billowing grey tulle. This will mimic the cloud of smoke that I become. The visual aspect is only one part of the piece.
To complete my transformation into a cloud of smoke, I will float around in the smoking area. When I reach a socially constructed boundary of my chosen area, I will explore that boundary and head in the other direction. I will float as a smoke cloud by bobbing gently up and down as well as waving my arms in a smoke-like fashion.
