The word occupation is a useful entry point. Similar to the fabric of the aprons, it suggests our labor, how time is spent, what one does. The word is also associated with a strategy of political dissent, a demonstration through the forceful take-over of a location.

In thumbs point to eyes, a space is set up in order to be occupied. Empty benches face each other ready for conversation. The visual cues of a ritualized space act as a backdrop to a location that is ready for spiritual and political takeover.
