Whilst still trying to decide on the final design of the model, I was lying in bed until I saw rays of light being reflected on my wall through the small holes of my blind. This gave me the idea to replicate the shape of the blind and incorporate it into my model.
The model made has three mirror planes on the inside – one on each side and the ceiling. In order to clearly show the shadow being cast, the floor plane is covered with white tissue paper. Tissue paper was used to further provoke an image of the bed. The exterior covered with black wrapping paper except two sides that are covered with mirror planes.
The mirror planes almost merge the model with the surrounding – an idea that dream occurs within the boundaries of reality. Dream may not always be an exact representation of reality in that it offers more freedom. However, I believe they are based on experiences and information from reality. Hence I installed mirror planes on the exterior to present such idea.
There are two doors on the back of the model to give a better view of the inside of the model. Two planes are installed on each side which was an idea driven from the start of the development stage. The mirrors create an infinite tunnel inside the model.
A test shot of the shadow inside the model was taken upon completion of the model. A lattice of light is formed as the light reflects on the mirror. In that the light represents different dreams, the intersection of light suggests merging and interaction of dreams.
