LIGHT BOX IN SAHARA

The one-component system-built museum functions as a massive light box and comes to life after dusk, casting a stream of light across the desert. The museum offers both a space linked to hope and a space associated to fear. The light box museum seeks to produce a profound and lasting experience by submerging visitors in this emotional duality. The museum transforms into a sanctuary, a place where people can face and resolve their own emotions while finding strength in both hope and fear.
