This piece is based off the idea that walking is a luxury, and for most people it is not, but in my life walking is something that I rarely have the ability to do without braces or pain. The strands of beads are positioned in the way tendons are wrapped around the knee, when the knee is bent some strands will snap and fall which simulates what I feel when I walk. The metal bands the beads are connected to are shaped after the bones surrounding the kneecap, the edges are beat up to show that even though the metal is shined and pretty my joints are worn down and broken.
