A walkable corridor made of inflated medical latex gloves forms a spatial installation inviting passage. The gloves are connected with wire and nylon cord and stretched into a narrow pathway. As visitors move through the corridor, they are touched by the fingertips of the inflated gloves; air pressure, material tension, visitor movement, and spatial load determine the form and stability of the structure. Space becomes visible as a flexible, body-related envelope that responds to touch and traversal. Authorship shifts from designing a fixed form to enabling a condition that continuously changes through use and material behavior.
