Waves of Light leads to a presentation offering a glimpse at what to expect from the space.

The Waves of Light experience aims to instil a feeling of unity and references the interconnectedness of the globe’s oceans.

The Resonating Microcosms - Solidified Light Color experience experiments with the concepts of colour and sound through large translucent ovoids.

Dozens of these egg-shaped structures are arranged in an expansive mirrored room, giving the feeling of an infinitely replicating area.

As visitors move through the ovoids, they change light and trigger a sound.

When ovoids are moved in unison, a digital chime resonates across the space. In contrast, when people are still, the ovoids flicker slowly and emit a more subdued sound.
