The Sense Gallery
Design Brief
"The Sense Gallery" provides spaces for five installations that are created by the inspirations from original paintings. Visitors are welcomed to feel the installations by touching it directly, looking at it, hearing sounds in the space or smelling the smell generated by installations. It aims to provide chances for people to experience INSIDE art, but not just watching it.
Every design starts with a blank sheet of paper, which allowing people to imagine and create things without limitation. Apart from five senses, "The Sense Gallery" is a WHITE gallery too, that most of the spaces are painted in white so that people can imagine and create anything of their own free will.

Inspiration
Mood Board
Human beings have FIVE basic senses: Touch, Sight, Hearing, Smell, Taste. We use our senses to feel and connect ourselves to the surroundings, to perceive the world around us.

Hearing

Sight

Touch

Feel

Colour can be changed with movement

Crossed ropes to form shapes

To present rapid movement of waves

Showing duplicated colour layers

To form a pattern with layers of fabric

More to fear than fear itself

A statue with mirror pieces

An imbalanced shell that Venus stands on
