Project 3 - Zack Shields







While walking somewhere downtown for lunch. Joe is consumed with too many thoughts in his head. Stresses at work, relationship problems, and an over all gereral low moral. Joe finds himself searching for an inner harmony he can’t quite find. He knows he must just focus on what needs to be done and do it. But the stress is preventing him from seeing things in a positive cause and effect manor. Getting one job done, will allow him to accomplish the next. Even the choice of where to eat lunch seems overwhelming hard. A detour through Grange Park might inspire a food craving. The park on this particular day is a buzz with people walking around interacting with strange installations that require closer inspection. Joe finds himself in front of something familiar. It’s a life-sized version of Newton’s Cradle. Remembering grade 11 physics class Joe picks up one of the end balls and drops it, colliding with the next ball it starts the chain of events. Joe is instantly mesmerized by the harmony and rhythm of the balls. Waching them move back and forth somehow calms his thoughts and allows him to think more clearly.
