This document is an art project presented to a university for a degree. It discusses how humans are influenced by their surroundings and can interpret even mundane experiences. The installation presents different layers of sensory information for the viewer's brain to interpret, including sounds, images, textures and structures. It aims to get the viewer's brain to travel to different places by finding their own subjective perceptions and interpretations within the work. The goal is for viewers to see with "swirling eyes" as their brain gets lost in the different elements.

2. THE EVERYDAY IS NEAR AND DEAR TO ALL. AS TIME CONTINUES, A
HUMAN’S EXCISTENCE MORPHS BEYOND CONTROL. WE ARE INFLUENCED BY OUR
SURROUNDINGS REGARDLESS OF OUR COGNITIVE STATE. IT INTRIGUES ME,
THAT AS A HUMAN BEING, WE ARE CAPABLE OF TAKING IN THE MOST
MUNDANE OF EVERYDAY AND TRANSLATING IT. SOME EXPERIENCES HOLD
STRONGER WEIGHT ON OUR EXCISTENCE, WHILE WE MAY HAVE MOMENTS OF
EPIPHONY AT THE ODDEST TIMES. OUR BRAIN CAN DO AMAZING THINGS,
BUT IT DOES NOT DRAW CONCLUSIONS WITHOUT SENSORY INTAKE. OUR
SENSES GATHER INFORMATION, AND FROM THERE OUR BRAIN CAN FORM
CONCLUSIONS, ABSTRACTLY WITH IMAGINITIVE TANGENTS OR LOGICALLY.
THIS INSTALLATION PRESENTS LAYERS OF INFORMATION, SOME DISCERNABLE
AND SOME ABSTRACTED. SOUNDS, IMAGERY, TEXTURES, STRUCTURES, AND
FORMATIONS ARE BROUGHT TO YOUR COGNITIVE AWARNESS. IT IS UP TO
YOU TO FIND YOUR OWN TANGENTS.
THE CURIOSISTY IS…
WHERE DO YOU GO? WHERE DOES YOUR BRAIN TRAVEL? WHAT AND HOW DO
YOU PERCIEVE?
THESE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED SUBJECTIVELY. THEY DIFFER FOR ALL.
THESE DIFFERENCES OF PERCEPTION STRENGTHEN HUMAN’S EXCISTENCE, TO
EMBRACE OUR SUBJECTIVE PERCEPTIONS.
TO “SEE” WITH DIFFERENT EYES- EYES SWIRLING IN ACTIVITY, AS
YOU’RE BRAIN GETS LOST.
THANK YOU CLASSMATES, PROFESSORS, AND FAMILY FOR INSPIRING AND
TEACHING.
