"The corridor is formed by seventy sheets of non woven fabric, each suspended one meter apart. As visitors walk through, the layered arrangement creates a shifting sense of depth, while the corridor gradually narrows from two meters at the entrance to just sixty centimeters at the end, extending the perceived length of the journey."
"At the end of the corridor, a mirrored panel invites visitors to confront their own reflection as they approach. Inscribed with phrases referencing environmental change, the surface connects the physical journey through the installation to global climate realities."
"The 40 meter length of the corridor reflects measurable environmental phenomena. This is the approximate distance a glacier can recede in a single day, while within 40 seconds, nearly one."
