Dome

  • Alexis Marie Sera
This project is still in the process. The viewer can enter the dome into a private and isolated space. The dome insulates the viewer, changing the acoustics and providing an intimate space. Inside the viewer can look at the paintings surrounding him or her, or can engage in personal contemplation. Since the dome is left bare underneath, only the frame of the stand remaining, the viewer is still conscious of the exterior and is aware if any other people are nearby. The viewer may feel exposed, however, his or her head is shielded just as he or she is unable to see the heads of those who surround him or her.
