Dhyana is an installation that aims to bring the audience to a state of mindfulness. Through this guided meditation installation, I seek to provide a solution to apathy by instilling in the audience a sense of calm, peace and balance.
As the audience enter a dreamy Bay 20 at the historical Carriageworks, they will instantly experience a wave of calmness engulfing them in. The audience will be asked to climb a spiral staircase and take their place on top on wooden cylindrical pillars. With the floors filled with dry ice representing the clouds, the audience will feel like they are floating in the sky above the clouds. Warm lighting will help the audience achieve a deeper level of relaxation. The air in Bay 20 will be filled with the scent of lavender incense sticks that will help the audience relax. A soft voice along with calming tunes will guide them through a 10 minute meditative session that will leave the audience feeling lighter and stress-free.
