Sanctuary of the Silent Star

About

A mysterious celestial object. A 17-foot-tall lotus bud just about to bloom. Constructed from horizontally stacked, CNC-cut wood, its exterior is heavily charred from its journey through space. This scorched shell mirrors the protective layers people carry, while the inner sanctuary remains soft and tender. Inside, fourteen massive ribs rise to a central skylight. At night, LEDs push light through precise gaps in the wood, making the structure visually breathe. Serving as a monument to stillness in an overstimulated world, the space responds to its environment. When absolute silence is sustained, a glowing galaxy reveals itself. If the quiet breaks, the stars fade.
