Hi

space = privacy
identity = individuality

The musician is saying that being cooped up with other people for a long time makes it hard to maintain physical and emotional boundaries between yourself and the other musicians.

She's not talking about her relationships with other people. (At least, not in this sentence.) She's just talking about how he own feelings of well-being.
