Open Heart
This exhibition is an experience to highlight and question the intimacy between two people.
It is a space that is built with harmony in mind. When each people enter from different sides, they are presented with a live projection of the other person in front of them. Both participants must answer questions presented to them on the screen without being able to hear each other, only seeing. When the two participants leave the space, it opens up a conversation. Do they share with each other what they had said while in the exhibition? Did they realize something in themselves about that person that they are willing to share?

Inspired by the traditional architecture of palaces, the roof of the space opens upwards, creating the feelings of invititation and empowerment. This space also takes inspiration from the small, intimate rooms in which people of importance discussed matters.
