    From nicksoni's personal cargo

    vast /væst, vɑst/ [vast, vahst] adjective
    1. of very great area or extent; immense: boundless expanse or space

    Large open spaces. They make me feel small, and make the world feel big. Endless horizons, the tallest mountains, the deepest valleys.

    This is something lost in space. The vastness of space is there, but can only be experienced through the bubble of a space colony, or through the mask of a space suit. Being immersed in a vast environment is something the Earth can offer, and the spectacles of nature only enhance it.
    (See photos "Air" entry)


    Possiblity
    Creating an immersive space that creates an illusion of vastness, but is physically contained in a small area. I want to explore the idea of entering a space where one's senses are manipulated to feel as if they have actually entered a different environment.

    Means
    Using architecture, light, sound, air, and natural materials to simulate an environment of vastness such as a mountain top, an ocean shore line, or an expansive forest.

    Inspiration
