I Wannabe Freeeeee.



      FREE....?(Yes, that's a BIG question).
         I wore odd trousers to town recently.
At least, everybody else seemed to think so. They're my favourite pair, personally. I had a really good time seeing people's reactions as they walked by on the street...At least I gave them something to react to.            
 
My trousers got me thinking...
Surely if people just did/wore what they really wanted,
the world would be a much more challenging (and fun) place.
The definition of freedom:
 
"The power to act, speak, or think as one
wants without hindrance or restraint"
 
 
Well, anyone can do that. If you care about it enough, just accept the consequences. Restraint is self-inflicted; so then isn't freedom, too....?
 
Initial sketches based on images of freedom and restraint, 'straight
jacket' was the key piece, classic image demonstrating how we self-inflict strict rules.
Final design, the idea was centered around openness.
