This is the illustration of the inside of my installation, what it'd look like all set up. The wall would have a mural type place on it saying "how does it feel?" - a song reference that makes somebody contemplate the relevance of the quote. The pillows are there for comfort, the bowl in the upper centre, full of dolls heads and red water to symbolise death. The candles lit, the music would be playing and it would be somewhat like a meditation room like they do in Buddhist communities. But this meditation room with a twist, makes those comfortable with themselves, reconsider and gives mixed emotions due to their questions art surroundings.
This is the outside of the installation without the paintings on to make people question what's inside I don't think it would be neccisery to have anything but it being white, on the exterior of the box because then it wouldn't surprise anybody. I'd want it to be somewhat mysterious in the back of a room. The box raw; the box would be built from card but painted to be a white colour to symbolise purity, would stand no more than 5ft 4inches, to make sure it's compact and small which would make the claustrophobic uncomfortable adding to the feel of the experience. The door would open up like your ordinary door, but you'd have to crawl in (evidently) due to the height and the width wouldn't be overly wide, neither, probably no longer than 2 meters.
The deconstruction of what would be needed for the installation;
-many pillows; for comfort
-floating dolls heads; to contradict that comfort
-candle light; to make it seem somewhat peaceful
-incense; the make it smell like and taken inspiration form the Buddhist temples
-paintings; to cause mixed feelings and contraversial contemplation in the mind
-light stands; to shine through the small holes pierced in the roof
