The Eye of the Tiger

A mysterious 5-foot tall tiger head made of wood and textiles beckons you to peer into its glowing eyes and to share its secret thoughts.

A mysterious tiger head is installed inside a darkened space. Glowing eyes beckon you near, to share its secret thoughts. Its pupils are peepholes which give access to the world within. The analog sounds of a tinkly hand-crank piano drift through the air.

Roughly 10 feet in diameter x 5 feet high, the head is a geodesic dome – an idealized utopian space, simultaneously retro and futuristic. The structure is a protective bubble, a place for reflecting our inner selves and experiences, who we are, and our dreams for the future. Through the tiger’s eyes you experience a scene which tells a story of displacement, of being “from away.” What brought you here – a temporary adventure or a life change which extended into months and years? Was it by choice or by chance? And what’s to come?

This is my bubble. What’s in yours?
