Where There is Light
Where There is Light
The need to recalibrate, reflect, and center mental wellness after uncertain years drove artist Tamara Shogaolu to develop WHERE THERE IS LIGHT. Inspired by the practice of forest bathing and by the Panamanian rainforest, WHERE THERE IS LIGHT is an interactive installation that merges mental wellness with nature through technology by allowing visitors to immerse themselves in a rainforest.

Through WHERE THERE IS LIGHT we hope to create a space where we can surrender to calmness and focus on our senses as a way to be present in the moment without the grief of what was and the fear of what could have been.
Visitors can explore the rainforest Lidar data visualization at their own pace and interact with the space through movement and breath with the forest reacting to their movements and breathing. The visuals are paired with a sound installation of sound recording in the rainforest in Panama over a 24hr cycle. The visuals and sounds constantly evolve from day to night, providing visitors a different experience depending on the time of day of their visit.
