The artwork DYSNOPIA represents the “mental clarity” through the installation space that combines physical objects with digital projection. By using multisensory elements, the space provides a holistic underwater environment with visual, tactile, and auditory experiences. The underwater panoramic view will bring tranquility, so the audience can relax and alleviate their anxiety. While the growing corals and colours, enhanced through visual effects, will motivate them to imagine a better future.
