All in the mind.

'Claustrophobia is typically classified as a mental illness and often results in panic attacks'

I tried to recreate this as an instillation.

I contracted a five sided box out of mirrors, which reflected off one another.

This represents the mind:A confined space from the outside, yet an infinite space on the inside.

 I also used a UV bulb to create a more fictitious/dreamlike sense to the space.

I firstly painted the base with UV footprints to show the now expanded path created by the reflections.

 Above is a picture of it opened up on it's side.

And here is the finished piece.

 confined appearance.

But when you look in the small window on it's side...

Infinite.

Next, I'm planning on replacing the base with a 3D piece representing Panic Attacks.
