Project Description
I am only starting out on my journey to create art installations, I would like to emphasize and incorporate painting and drawing as a vehicle within this interactive technology. My interactive project assists in examining the privacy aspect as it relates to social acceptance and reaction of expressing personal tragedies. Secrets Room will engage the viewer in a dialogue. As the viewer moves through a path of emotional experiences form others with a visual aid, The participants will be engaged in the vulnerability of the victims. With the ending of the path the user is then able to respond with their own emotional experiences or with words of encouragement. I believe this project will bring fourth a sense of understanding and discovery while also providing individuals with an escape through technology.
