Set in an abandoned, dried up bathhouse, the design connected the transformation of the space with water to the introduction of colour in the lights. We gave one of the characters the ability to grow light. When he watered a garden made of light bulbs they would bloom into light, light would emerge from objects he touched and from the ground beneath his feet. After his death his presence could still be seen in the space through moving footsteps made of light.
