The Transition Project:  SPIDER’S WEB


For my project, I explored the concept of transformation by drawing inspiration from the spider's web weaving. I began with a list of transformations and ultimately chose the spider's web as a focal point because the way a spider draws silk from its own body to create a web captivates me. This behavior fascinates me because spiders use their own resources to build homes, symbolizing creativity and self-reliance. The spider's act of building a home out of its own body resonates with the idea that we must invest our own energy and effort to build our own safe spaces - both spiritually and physically. I created a vignette with a spider's web that visualizes this metaphor and represents the interconnectedness between our behavior and the transformations we experience in our lives.
