The 'Distal Device' is an autobiographical collection that is a product of two societal circles that I find myself living in. Those circles are my blue-collar upbringing and my life now as a designer. I often speak about how I live two separate lives due to these circles and how they and the people in them don't relate to each other in many ways. The word Distal is defined as the furthest point from an object's center, making me the "Distal Point" within these circles as I belong to both, but don't fully feel a part of either of them.
