| definition | The concept of "compression" can be applied to people and their psychology, particularly in the context of how they process information and manage stress. 1. Psychological Capacity Stress (Compression): ProBiologists reports that individuals can experience a reduced ability to handle stressors due to overwhelming demands on their psychological resources, a phenomenon termed "psychological capacity compression." This suggests that when individuals are under too much pressure, their ability to cope with new challenges diminishes. 2. Temporal Self-Compression: PNAS reports that as people think about distant past or future selves, their perceived personality traits become less differentiated. This study suggests the brain "compresses" self-representations over time, similar to how objects in the distance appear less detailed. 3. Consciousness and Data Compression: An eScholarship paper proposes that the process of understanding oneself involves identifying a structure that compresses observations of one's own past behavior. This theory suggests that our sense of self is a simplified, compressed model of our experiences. 4. Compression and Prediction: A CEUR-WS.org paper argues that brains are highly efficient compressors of information, and this compression is crucial for making accurate predictions about the future. This implies that the brain uses compression to create a simplified understanding of the environment, which allows it to anticipate events. 5. Data Compression in Memory: ScienceDirect.com reports that chunking or grouping information in memory can be seen as a form of data compression, allowing individuals to cope with complexity and reduce the information load. This process helps the brain manage large amounts of information by reducing the amount of detail it needs to store and retrieve. 6. Time-Space Compression: ScienceDirect.com also notes that in the context of capitalism, "time-space compression" refers to the intensification of events and the acceleration of the turnover of capital, which can lead to stress and the denigration of place in society. 7. Compression Garments and Sensory Integration: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports that compression garments can be used as a sensory input tool, particularly for individuals with autism, and may help reduce repetitive behaviors and increase task participation. This suggests that applying physical pressure can have a calming and organizing effect on the nervous system. In essence, "compression" can be used metaphorically to describe the way people process information, manage stress, and understand their own sense of self. It also has a literal application in sensory intervention strategies like compression garments. |

| label | Tension Series |
| description | The Tension Series explores the intersection of human form and structural geometry, translating the principles of tensegrity into expressive sculptural compositions. Each work stages a dynamic equilibrium between cooperation and instability--figures interlocked within frameworks that both support and constrain them. Through mirrored, faceted surfaces and mathematically derived architectures, the series examines how balance, connection, and strain coexist in physical and social systems. These sculptures occupy the threshold between the mechanical and the organic, revealing tension itself as both a structural condition and a metaphor for human interdependence. |
