JPA Designs has collaborated with prominent airline industries, specializing in creating immersive experiences and branding for aircraft interiors. This collaboration proved valuable for my project as it provided insights into their expertise in designing interiors that evoke a sense of calmness and comfort for passengers at high altitudes. Their meticulous attention to details such as lighting, seating arrangements, and ergonomic considerations for the human body made them an ideal parallel to explore within my narrative.

The potential of daydreaming isn’t recognized by societies obsessed with productivity. But some of our greatest insights come when we stop trying to be purposeful and instead respect the creative potential of reverie. Window daydreaming is a strategic rebellion against the excessive demands of immediate (but ultimately insignificant) pressures – in favor of the diffuse, but very serious, search for the wisdom of the unexplored deep self.

Inspired by the window, and the act of staring out of it when we think, this piece intends to resemble moving clouds such that one can stare into it and continue thinking. It is connected to pressure sensors wherein when people tap their feet, the discs start moving and compel them to stare at it.
