Palindrome Park invites the viewer into a world of symmetry and balance, where two opposing sides connect to form a unified whole, where love and kindness dispels social divides and ideologies by design.
The environment and accompanying soundtrack were specifically created to evoke a soothing, meditative experience enticing children and adults alike to reflect on inner and outer harmony and peace. Through playful physical interaction with the space and its varied workshops, children find ways to organize, collaborate and communicate via color, shape and light and explore universally innate, equalizing energies.
