Hold On

This project is based on the individual ability to hold one's breath — I was interested in both duration and will and how those two elements affect each other. This was the first of my projects exploring how a person's will power could overcome their natural, physical desire to do something as important and life-sustaining as breathing.

Each person was instructed to hold their breath for as long as they physically could.
