Buoyant explores the malleability of perceived reality by submerging the audience in an ambient virtual space that liberates them from the pervasive forces of the physical world. Touch turns into music. Walls divide gravity. Waves break at the farthest reach of the horizon. Inspired by the plurality, mysticism, and abstraction manifest in Hilma af Klint’s paintings, this work reimagines one of her sketches as a three-dimensional space that the audience embodies.
