Stress Balls
I never was into stress balls, most probably because I never owned any. And when I'm in a situation that requires release of pent-up nervous energy, I'm more inclined to make one with anything at hand - napkin, shopping bag, used aluminum foil. The process of creating a stress ball becomes in and of itself part of the stress relieving process. This, of course, makes the improvised stress balls perfect items for MoNE's collection. By placing them on certain existing photographs they signify MoNE's editorial comment on the pictures and the situations they depict.
