Why do we have fears? Everyone has something they fear and some fear more than others. People say to face your fears so for people who have Trypophobia can look at this and face their fear. Pushing the boundaries as to how uncomfortable a person from looking at this was the goal. I wanted to be so big that even a person who doesn't have Trypophobia will be uncomfortable. From a distance it might not look like much but when you start to get closer you can see hundreds of holes. The closer the viewer gets the more detailed the piece becomes but by the viewer getting closer it becomes in their face more therefore, making them feel uncomfortable.
