When I do talks I often refers to the limitations

that we experience as being ‘Glass Ceilings’ or as

if we’re trapped inside a ‘Glass Jar’.Confined in
an enclosed volume which is not so much taller
or wider than me feels so unsafe ,scared and
claustrophobic.But it also depends on the type
of space like which kind of area,shape ad other
factors also.
Here,I also have chosen a transparent glass jar
and the scale of human figure is 176 cm (the
height of glass jar is 270mm).As much as
confined I am feeling the transparency which is
a boon to me,offers me to look outside my
isolated area.
Enclosed space makes me feel safe from the
unknown surroundings, as glass acts as a barrier
between the inner and outside spaces. The
enclosed area gives me the access to the outside
view from the jar from every perspectives from
sky and mountains to the ground . Enclosed area
makes me feel empowered as no one and
nothing can harm to me. But after sometimes
the transparency becomes worst to me .It gives
me no privacy ,as I feel that I have put on display
in a glass cover to the whole world just like in a
car exhibition.It makes me so confined because
of the enclosed area is too small to me ,which
allows me very less possibilities of activities to
do inside the area.
I think if the scale of the human figure changed
from 1:50 to 1:12 .The glass jar is now almost 3X
times bigger than the height of the human
figure. Now the enclosed area is increased to
such a extent in which now can I walk ,can do
meditation (earler also) but can not do physical
activities. Earlier the space which is so
claustrophobic to me, now it decreases at some
extent.
If the orientation of the glass jar is changed from
horizontal to vertical ,now the width is becomes
wider and the length becomes deepness to the
enclosure now there is no claustrophobic, now
the volume feels me so spacious but now the
open side of the jar is accessible earlier that was
touching to the ground now everyone can
access to me and can provide harm to me and
now I can directly contact with outside space,
anyone can provide harm to me there is no
feeling of isolation now.As there is no privacy to
me anyone can access to me to prevent that
,what can be done a door like article can be add
to the opening of jar which can be open and
close according to my wish which provide me
safety at a great extent but all these changes
cannot work on my issues of privacy ,still it
offers me no privacy if the material can be
changed from glass to something opaque can
provide me privacy but in that case there is no
light will be allowed in the volume which cause a
feeling of scared ,so it will be more better if the
inner surface of the jar(glass area) covered by a
thin curtain ,papers etc. which allows some
natural light in the area and also provides me
privacy but I cannot see the outside world now
there is no view of outside view. Addition of
windows and furniture can make the volume
more comfortable.
If these changes will happen in the volume, the
volume becomes livable for sometimes.

Scale of the model is 1:50
