I tried to fit in a 381mm stained glass box that has the same volume as my body if I were water and could fit inside the box perfectly. Each grid is represented with the "SUN" that we use as a measurement in Japan. This measurement uses body parts, and SUN is approximately the length of one finger. I tried to fit inside the box while also trying not to break it. However, my body was not flexible enough, and it was impossible for me to fit in without breaking the box. I ended up bleeding from glass shards, and my skin was scratched everywhere from glass and copper.
