Light in the Forest is a multi-media immersive experience that explores the intersection of Art, Nature, and Mental Wellness. Wander through the illuminated silk trees and enter an animated world of nature, animals, twinkling stars and rising sun. Journey from the night into the day with the sounds of indigenous drumming, symphonic original score and spoken word. The exhibit explores the intersection of Art, Nature, and Mental wellness. It also contains several interactive wellness stations, where participants can try self-care exercises including making their own art.
