The final night has passed. On Saturday, June 27, 2026, you stepped inside the installation. Thank you to everyone who descended.
The dark and misty environment was perfect for the underwater experience. The sounds were exceptional and took me away to another place and time.
Nia's score really grounded me, making me forget all the surrounding noise. When it finished, I wanted to keep going, but it felt like surfacing after scuba diving.
The room being dark made me feel like I was laying down on a beach at night and just listening to the ocean.
Very calming, almost hypnotic. The underwater, dreamlike aspect definitely came across.
