The Design
About Imagination and Reality Illustration
Denne store vinduesdekal illustrerer, hvor virkelighed og fantasi smelter sammen for at skabe et indtryk af et individs liv efter en medicinsk intervention. Illustrationen sidder fast på glasset på indersiden af denne imponerende bygning og måler over 10.000 mm i højden. Dette kunstværk er skabt med tilgængelighed i tankerne. Kunstværket er installeret i et vinduesrum, fordi vinduesrum er tilgængelige at se fra udenfor bygningen. Derfor kan publikum, som ser værket, forblive i deres bil, hvis deres fysiske begrænsninger kræver det.

The medium is vinyl and each section was installed on the same day.
- Design Challenge
- The greatest challenge was the scale of the image. This artwork was the first large scale illustration by this artwork. Cork city is host to incredible street art and this piece of artwork had to stand up to the artwork that already exists in the city while also being respectful of the host building. The largest challenge was to ensure the artwork didn't look like an event or performance that was happening at Cork Opera House so as not to confuse their patrons.
