Project Description
Embosom is a multi-sensory installation that utilizes virtual reality, sound, and a physical sculpture to allow viewers to explore the emotional landscape of home and immigration. The installation offers a deeply immersive experience that blurs the lines between physical and virtual reality, and encourages viewers to contemplate the complexities of the concept of home. Through a combination of technology and art, Embosom provides a thought-provoking reflection on the meaning of home and its significance in our lives.
