The phygital installation combines sculpture, interplay of light and shadow, transforming the mansion space into a shadow theater.
The concept of the work stems from my childhood memories. As a child, I loved building forts from whatever I could find—pillows, blankets—creating my own secluded world. I remember making shadow theaters with cut-out paper figures and watching improvised performances using a slide projector, orchestrated by my father. All of it felt like pure magic to me, a glimpse into a realm of wonders.
I aimed to recreate that enchanting atmosphere, where shadows "dance" their unpredictable waltz, reflecting how our dreams and fantasies are constantly in motion and transformation.
To deepen this experience, I added a VR component—a virtual world inspired by my childhood fantasy realm, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the magic of imagination and memory.
