We Create Our Space

In my Thesis, I strive to inform people that they are active participants in their reality. This planetarium is to express how you can create your life through manifestation and co-creation. I interject this topic that time is not just linear, but is also a spiral, and that spiral acts as a link to transforming your reality.

This planetarium showcases a slinky board to represent each and every one's spiral and how we can interact and transform our own reality. The slinkys express the coexisting nature of waves and matter within our present. In the center space is a painting of the observable universe from the center of our solar system, with a translucent spiral starting from the middle. The center of this space holds a rock rug that encourages you to sit or to feel your feet upon the rocks to further ground your body to the present while your head stays up in the sky. This is a meditative, sensorial, interactive space to see another perspective of our present to teach you how to get in the state of being you need to be at to manifest and co-create with the universe.

You are the creator of your own spiral that is constantly rippling from Earth through the cosmos. The spiral is you, every action has a reaction, similar to a wave, a frequency, and an energy. You hold the power in your own body to fulfill your desires and create your own reality. Our Universe holds our galaxies together, as we hold our own spirals to link our manifestations to reality. It starts with you, and you have everything you need.



Bio

Growing up, Lexi Wu was surrounded by art with the beautiful nature in the Great Lakes of Michigan. Being a visual learner trained her artistic eye to see the unseen. Wu’s styles are many, involving abstraction, surrealism, and experimentalism. As an Energy worker, their art reflects a realm for them to research life, anatomy, beings, and the relationship between all, which influences the work and it's a part of their process.

Lexi is currently a senior in Painting at the Maine College of Art & Design with an expected graduation in the spring of 2025. She loves performance art, music, and loves to go on walks with her cat. She is also a tattoo artist, mainly working in contemporary line work style, and uses this outlet as a way to reconnect with the people around them.
