James Turrell: “My work has no object, no image and no focus. With no object, no image and no focus, what are you looking at? You are looking at you looking. What is important to me is to create an experience of wordless thought.” The best magic of all is the magic that is real. I am interested in working straight with that power.

Turrell often cites the Parable of Plato’s Cave to introduce the notion that we are living in a reality of our own creation, subject to our human sensory limitations as well as contextual and cultural norms.

How can a space improve our well-being by influencing our breathing pattern?

Sub question

1. How can light projection direct our breathing pattern? 2. What is the right breathing rhythm to release stress? 3. How can space disorient? 4. How can space make us relax? 5. Why should people use my space?

Checking the breathing pattern by attaching a elastic band with breathing cap in front on test persons.

Business Station - concept/ poem

I have two great passions, travelling- artist I want to become a travelling artist. Being creative is my oxygen. Travelling fills my heart and my mind. Only does who slow down can really see and understand.

We race by so fast, we barely know who we are, and where we are. Yet, how can we become the best version of ourselves when we barely know where we are?

I am a guide, I am a healer, I a am a hedonist, and endless source of inspiration. I am a chameleon of cultures, send to this time and place to serve the human race.

I came to help you slow down, to help you look around, to help you drain the stress-toxins from your veins, and see you recover in front of my eyes. Space is my canvas, healing is my purpose, my installation is the message.

I need you, my messengers, my lost souls to find your child-like wonder, to become amazed by my work, my installations. Feel the magic, and find healing.

Dont wait for me to find you. I will come unannounced, when you least expect it, but need it most.

Each day is a blessing, and to be treated as such. Do not find yourself in the end of your days with regret, because you failed to slow down and take a breath.

Treat yourself as more worthy than that. Do not close your eyes and ears to the voice of your soul. I will help you listen, but only once. After that, it is up to you.

Because my time is short, and the road of my mission grand.

Testing with people
