Title of Entry : SILILI & TREE VRSILILI & TREE VR
Participants are invited to the Mother Nature to fully immerse into their intrinsic senses to observe and interact with the surroundings. Letting go of handheld devices, they are encouraged to use their eyes and hand touch to trigger the marvelous transformation of four seasons in the environment and encounter "leaf-storm" under a magical Tree. This inspirational experience reminds participants the inevitable passing of life just like the ever-changing four seasons that you can only accept and better embrace the change in life. Whereas the "leaf-storm" is a metaphor to setbacks in life that might strike you occasionally but it's all on you how to react to it. It happens to hit you harder if you slap against it or you can just let them fly around till it dies down. The concept behind this VR journey aims to retrieve the inner peace of participants to calmly observe and learn to embrace the constantly changing and occasional ups-and-downs in life, even it's coming to an end...
