Vanishing Point Installation

Vanishing Point Installation from Dam Markson

Design greatly impacts ritual priorities, and can alter human behavior for higher awareness. How often do we make the time, room, or mental space to simply reflect, breathe, and check in with our bodies and minds?

The act of being still requires tremendous thought and concentration, an ability that takes time and practice to master. This installation consists of an infinity mirror, reversible bench and a defined space of backlit wall panels. The space in designed to induce a specific and important purpose of wellbeing, creating an actual physical space for mental clarity.
