Awkward Moment #1 shows a man seated on a toilet reading a newspaper. The man is a composition of steel and photography. A handle is attached to the left side of the steel structure. When the viewer pulls the handle, the newspaper lowers down and the face of the man comes into view : an angry face that shouts: "Do you mind?!?!". This is the moment that almost everyone has experienced: the moment that an individual walks in on someone unexpectedly and the immediate sense of surprise, shame and vulnerability created from it. The dynamic of the piece is to force the spectator to back away from the work with a sense of invasive shame and guilt.
