A Personal Cave: \ˈli-sən\ \ tu̇\ \ˈyu̇r\ \(ˌ)in-ˈsīd\
A Personal Cave is an interactive installation offering shelter and personal safety. Inspired by animals’ self-protective behavior of covering their heads when they are afraid, I created hanging “caves” in which viewers can insert their own heads for self-protection or perhaps escapism. The viewer’s breath produces vibrations and acoustic effects, which, together with the interior patterns of dotted fingerprints eliciting the markings of a heartbeat monitor, create the feeling of being in utero.
