On site installations

Recently I have had several ideas pop into my head concerning on site installations. Normally how this occurs is that I think of the idea as a joke then it evolves into something far more meaningful. One of the ideas I have been playing with has to deal with uniformity and breaking away from the norm. I know this is a very common theme however I hope that I might be able to change it up. What I’m thinking is not so much breaking free from society but breaking away from the planed life. It seems that everyone is following the same model. Basically going to school, then getting a job and working till retirement at which point you play golf until your death. It seems that people in today’s world follow this plan as much as a possible to the point that the only adventure in their lives is their debt and their planned vacations. What I hope to do with these on sight pieces is to represent the repetitiveness of this style of life and show that it is possible to break away. This might be accomplished by doing something as simple as having a bunch of frogs hoping down a hallway one way and having one frog in the group turn down a different path. Another possible idea is to make a maze of cubicles, all of which are grey, and have one of them stand out in some way, either by coloring it or decorating it in a unique way. However I might do it I must be able to represent the idea of a uniform society and a break away from it.
