concept
The title, 'Sanctuary' is meant to recognise that each individual deals with stressful situations in their own personal way. The purpose of the artwork is to create a “sanctuary” for the visitors to the rooms where they can “exist” for a while.
The objectives of the artworks in the two rooms is not to cure or remove pain, but merely to be objects that has the potential to create a bit more of a positive athmosphere for the individual. The main objective of the artworks is to not add additional pain and suffering to the visitors' personal experiences during the time they spend in the two rooms
