Art Things

 I want to have long strips of translucent plastic (acrylic) to act as a doorway into the space. I want the lights to have a dull, muted feel, so I will cover them with plastic to give that feeling.

I want the viewer to feel the emotion of loneliness when they are standing in the room. I like the context and setting of the piece too, because Tandem has such a hom
