The inspiration for this piece stemmed from the desire to create a comfort object to benefit those who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression etc. An object that not only provided this sense of comfort, but doubled as a visually happy art piece for any space. 

I wanted to create a large-scale, colorful soft sculpture that you could fully intertwine yourself in, in hopes to alleviate these common gray feelings we all tend to have! 

The idea of taking something that is typically hard and made for fastening/supporting, and making it soft, immersive, and emotionally supportive was really intriguing to me, which is why I chose to create this chain form. Each link allows you to put your arms, legs, and head through, for a big soft cuddle. These cuddles allow your brain to release oxytocin, which has a positive impact on our mental well-being.
