Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The swing as a tool for physically elevating oneself aligns with the principles of empiricism, which is based on the idea that all knowledge comes from experience and observation. The swing allows the audience to experience a physical elevation and therefore learn and understand the concept of elevating marginalized bodies, rather than just being told about it or observing it passively. The other options do not relate directly to this particular installation.
