Illumination, an annual fundraiser party featuring immersive light art, invited me to create a project for the VIP room.

I wanted to create a space you can enter and be fully immersed in, and feel transported from the immediate surroundings. I started with the common saying “Eyes are the window to the soul.” I imagine the soul of a person to resemble something of a landscape containing both microscopic intricacies and astronomical vastness...past memories and ideas about the future. Both specific and ambiguous all at the same time. I used footage of the vast universe as well as very personal objects and macro footage of materials that no longer resembled their original form.
