OverviewIn Endurance in Solitude, we delve into the intimate relationship between an individual and the private space where they experience physical pain in solitude.

Using HTC Vive Controllers, we captured and visualized the movements of a performer navigating pain, transcending its typical categorization. The movements span a spectrum of vulnerability, such as rolling on the bed, staggering, curling up, and slumping.

Physical pain, an inescapable human experience, is often confronted in isolation. Our creation does not just highlight pain, instead, we aim to underscore the inherent beauty in the process of overcoming pain, reminding viewers of the strength of resilience that lies within moments of vulnerability.
