11. Interpretion of Wrapped Reichstag Convey the message of what will it be like, if the building was not restored when it was severly burned, and was taken down instead. Play with the human mind, curiosity and emotions When wrapped, people tend to wonder about the building before it was covered, as many took for granted with what they have. People will not take too much notice of it, nor pay attention to its details of the building, as they thought it will always be there for viewing. However, when wrapped, people will try to recall the image of Reichstag, but it was futile as they realise that they did not pay close attention and appreciate the building before.

12. Interpretation of Wrapped Reichstag The art also play with our emotions. When covered, we would wow people, and be impressed with the artwork. When it came to wondering what the building looks like before, we would be frustrated, curious and it spurs our imagination It also reflects on the human mind, where everything is blank, white, when we are clueless about something, as though it had vanished
