Definitions

I feel that there are two words that have influenced my decision in the viewer not being able to go in the room and that it will be only viewed from a window/door. These words are: THRESHOLD and PANOPTICON. This is because to define 'threshold' it is a 'starting point of an experience.' I feel that the window acts as exactly that. I want the viewers to feel the experience and thoughts from the women in my work. Sound also invites the viewer into an experience. 'Panopticon' is a building where all parts of the interior is visible from one single viewpoint. This building is usually a prison or a library, however, I am trying to create a representation of a personal room within an institutionalized building.
