This experiment inspired me to explore abstract expressionism, as it represents the departure of reality in the depiction of imagery. Characterised by strong energetic movements, it corresponds to my design – the recreation centre. I created an Art Installation space through projections. The user becomes fully immersed in a world that departs from reality, travelling through light, colour and movement projections such as in the image of a girl reaching for moon.

A Departure From Reality: In my design, I created a space that will keep both mind and body active in an engaging environment. One experiment I implemented consisted of releasing pressure from a balloon full of glitter, seeing what shapes and forms the glitter symbolising freedom would create. This experiment was important as it represented bursting the bubble from everyday pressures that working people are subjected to. I used the resulting captivating forms in my design.
