Happenings
When people discovered that this was for an art project they were excited to have contributed and asked deep questions about what it was for and what I was finding.
I became a de facto 'confessional' for what people thought of and had done (or still did) in public toilets.
Sleeping, sexual acts, crying, meditating, time away from their children, a moment of peace, a moment of rest were all topics shared with me.
