As you walk through our interactive art installations, we invite you to listen to the soundscape provided above and meditate on the various film components. When you reach the three walls, follow the instructions below and use the provided materials to make your contribution.

Fragments and Forms

This interactive installation explores themes of light and fragments, examining how we encounter them in our ordinary lives. As you walk among the deconstructed walls and view the filmed pieces of our world, we invite you to reflect on how light enters and escapes, even through the broken and fragmented parts of our being.

As you enter this space, breathe in life, and as you exit, exhale wholeness.

If you were to view the installation from above, you would see the positioning of the walls spell “light” and “Yahweh” in Hebrew letters. This serendipitous discovery speaks to the hidden providence within and above every step of our journey.

This collaborative installation was developed by Jessica and Daniel Hale, Amy Cruz, and Stephen Roach.

Film contributions by Jinna Kim, Ben Stamper, and Corey Frey.

Three Walls

A Community Art Experiment

THE EXPERIENCE:

Please take a sharpie and write a word or short phrase that represents one thing you are asking for help for, one thing you are grateful for, one thing you are wow’d by on each corresponding wall. No last names, we recommend if praying for a person, to use initials, like the one below, to protect everyone’s privacy. There are no “wrong” words, the only requirement is honesty.

Example:

Help - G

Thanks - sleep

Wow - warm light and dimmer switches

Please keep your phone on silent and save conversations for outside the room. :)

THE SOUNDSCAPE:

Field recordings straight from Amanda’s Survey team phones.

THE AMBIENCE:

Three Walls exists to collect the needs, gratitudes, and amazements of people in a physical, community-oriented way, through the five senses. Here’s to us all feeling a little less alone, a little more known, and like a ton more loved.

INSPIRED BY:

-The Western Wall, Jerusalem

-The gratitude practice of the Five Minute Journal

-Anne Lamott’s book, “Help, Thanks, Wow”

-The need to have something physical to write on and return to

-The key of D flat

-Conversations with our Survey team

-The number three
