BA7. Visual StudiesEscapism
IntroductionFor this project I wanted to focus on escapism, and how to give somebody just a moment where they can feel completely absorbed and free from the worries of every day live.

EscapismAfter looking at many different themes, artists, styles and theories I decided that for me the most interesting type of escapism is “Immersive” where you can escape to a different situation where you can interact with the new scenario.

My AimsI had a few aims I wanted to achieve with my idea:
- Create a moment of bliss- Something rewarding- Something special- Something unique- Something of Intrigue
BA7. Visual StudiesEscapism
UniqueAfter much research and development, I came up with a truly unique item, which was a custom designed puzzle giving the sense of speciality, uniqueness and a sense of reward when completing it. This almost fulfilled two of my goals.

Something SpecialTo make people feel special, they need to feel selected, or picked. So I need to distribute the puzzle in such a way that they feel they have been chosen for it.
The best way to do this? Let fate decide.

RewardThe person then realises whats happening, and as a reward they are allowed to participate with some other select few people in their own private puzzle world.

ReflectionLooking back at my goals I feel that I’ve hit every single one, and hopefuly created something that people will feel a part of, allowed them to escape from reality, even if it was just for a couple of minutes and created a compeltely unique experience.
