It felt like i knew you

I'll let artist George Ferrandi describe her ongoing "project" in her own words:

I ride the NYC subway trains, usually in the evening when the seats are full. I focus on the shape of the space between the person sitting next to me and myself. I attempt to mentally and emotionally re-sculpt that space. In my mind, I reshape it — from the stiff and guarded space between strangers to the soft and yielding space between friends. I direct all my energy to this space between us. When the space palpably changes, and I completely feel like the stranger sitting next to me is my friend, I rest my head on that person's shoulder...

I'm guessing that guys who grope women's buttocks on crowded trains probably go through the same kind of mental wind-up.

Anyway, Ferrandi has a friend sitting opposite record the results of her space re-shaping.

So, why is it that a lover nodding off on your shoulder is like a mosquito landing and a stranger doing the same feels like a bucket of rocks?

She is trying to raise hallucination and self-delusion to an art form, but Eckankar got there first.
