Oral description:

[The artefact combines three parts that were created by different members of the group] “So this is like, fusion between so, uh, sculpture here that ** started, but maybe you should say something about it still because I don't know what your idea is...
[One of the members of the group] Oh, neck pain [1], sorry. Neck pain, yeah. It's so obvious. Um, neck pain.
[Another members of the group] That's why it's bigger than yours. But actually we all used um, this polar, uh, material. Yeah. Triangles and no, uh, balls. So that's what we all have in common when we chose the objects [2]. This was clear. Well, there is one little round shape hidden here that, um, ** picked.
[Another member of the group] Yeah, it's here [the polyester sphere they refer to is hidden in this picture but visible from others as it is one the other side of the artefact]. I put it here. Um, but then we're also saying, um, like this one also just kind of like I chose this because that is the ideal state of my shoulder when it's like soft, which is like a distant memory. And this is like, kind of connecting, like, it also feels like, you know, when you're like, you're feeling this kind of strain [3]. Um, but yeah, also memory connector to what that state could be like, um, and yeah, heaviness. [...] I mean, the ball had kind of, where is the ball? Yeah, I mean, it was kind of already, like, marred and, and kind of, um, damaged. So this is what I feel my shoulder is coming in stages, to be fair.”
