Artist Tiffany Singh believes engaging with the arts can improve physical and mental health. She intends Total internal reflection to be an expression of our collective wellbeing through colour.
A maximum of 30 people can be in the room at once.
Each colour selected for Total internal reflection is captured in real time – a record of how visitors are collectively shaping the artwork. This data is available in open source for creative reuse.
“The purpose of my work is to draw the audience towards consideration of multiple perspectives.”
Spices, herbs, gemstones, and other natural materials believed to have healing properties are arranged here in a rainbow, a vision of hope and new beginnings. Fair-trade bells hang on the ribbons, and below them is a salt mandala – a symbol of cleansing and ritual.
