The chandelier is inspired by the letter "X". It is cut out from MDF by CNC. Visitors were encouraged to meditate by hanging laser cut paper monkeys on the chandelier. The candles were handmade by a Fort Langley candle shop.

Monastery Project

description
This project is about representing a monastic community I visited in 2010. The monks were given disposable cameras to take photos in response to a question, "What is a monk?". I also recorded the ambient sound of the monastery. I was amazed to discover that being a monk has much to do with being silent and listening to one's heart. Upon returning to Emily Carr, I created a space on campus for people to experience 8 minutes of silence.
