My idea is based on the concept of fear of the unknown and the notion of the emotion fear as being a container which can hold you back from doing what you really want to do, in this case travel. I looked into my childhood and remembered the feelings of security I had as a child when fear was an unknown element in my life. I also talked to a relation of mine who emigrated to America when she was only 17!! She told me her experience of travel and what it was like to leave home in a time when it was simply not affordable to hop on the boat home if you didn't like it or if you were homesick it was your own tough luck. I also looked at travelling rituals belonging to different cultures eg; Celts, Shamans etc.
 In my original idea I had planned to perform some of these rituals and document them using video and photographic elements. However this initial idea changed radically into my final piece as you will see if you travel further!!!
