issue statement
In early 2020, a swiftly spreading virus brought widespread illness, death, and devastation globally. Beyond its medical impact, life underwent significant changes due to lockdowns, isolation, and business closures, pushing people to the edge of despair. This crisis triggered panic and widespread confusion, prompting questions about trust, government honesty, the severity of the situation, and the possibility of a calculated effort to undermine autonomy. The quest for truth became paramount.
Upon entering this space, visitors will be enveloped in uncertainty and distrust. As they navigate, they'll encounter confusion and disorientation, grappling with questions of direction and perspective. Echoing sounds will further disorient, shrouding the individual in a haze, intensifying the struggle to find clarity. Doubt will loom, accentuating the challenge. The exhibit features doors leading to the next segment and others leading nowhere, guiding guests through a complex journey of twists and turns. Eventually, a compelling urge will drive visitors to navigate through the haze, seeking light as they emerge back to the trail's summit.
