Photos from a 2015 visit to Penang

Short video documentation of the altar

Trying to capture the reflections was way harder than I had expected........ and to an extent it kind of looked stupid HAHHAHAHA it wasn't reflective of the experience of standing infront of them irl

Using the largest sheet of white paper I could find hahahahha

Disastrous lighting .....

Attaching the mirrors were the hardest part..... I had to use scrap paper and cardboard to create supports in order to angle the mirrors

People write down their wishes on wooden panels and hang them on the board, but this kid wrote 祝世界上的每一个家庭平安 (hope that every family on the earth is safe/peace). So cute

A number of tiny pieces got lost/didn't fit into the final one

Turned out WAY too big... and the slots weren't tight enough. Didn't really like the orientation of the slices too.

Sometimes its hard working digitally because you can't factor in the real life elements like strength/thickness of material, weight.... (that's why we have to prototype and try things out)

Beads, coins, barcodes, zippers....

Joining base and body

Soaking gold parts of joss paper so rub the foil onto the clay as clothes
