Part One: What you don’t know can hurt you.

What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You explores the choice to not inform one’s self in order to avoid the mental stress of certain knowledge. This protective strategy allows one to move about freely without the fear of conceivable dangers. This can feel liberating, but the choice of ignorance does nothing to inhibit the danger itself. The assembled pots mimic a shell shape, but unlike most, it is fragile and exposes the inside. The growth of a potential threat has free access to all areas, but the snails remain unaware and mentally unburdened.
