The Design

About Imagination and Reality Illustration

Dieser großflächige Fensteraufkleber illustriert, wo Realität und Vorstellungskraft verschmelzen, um einen Eindruck vom Leben eines Menschen nach einem medizinischen Eingriff zu vermitteln. Die Illustration haftet an der Glasinnenseite dieses beeindruckenden Gebäudes und misst über 10.000 mm in der Höhe. Dieses Kunstwerk wurde mit Blick auf Barrierefreiheit geschaffen. Die Installation befindet sich in einem Fensterbereich, da Fensterflächen von außerhalb des Gebäudes einsehbar sind. Daher können Betrachter das Bild von ihrem Fahrzeug aus betrachten, falls ihre körperlichen Einschränkungen dies erfordern.
