A Space where only eyes could reach

I stand at a junction where many routes intersect each other, it gives hints of the direction I should take, a brighter path, a dim-light low ceiling path, or a crowded path full of people, all of them lead me somewhere I do not know. 

A space is made up of concrete and steel that is very static in itself, yet it contains another quality foreshadow the further impressive experience to be discovered. Whether it is the decoration of any cultures, inventive sculpture, or mix program. Those have been added to make the passerby feel more pleasant. It is rather enjoyable when the dynamic of the space could bring an impression, such as the flow of fountain that make it seem as if it is dancing along with music or a hallway that the whole wall occupy by an aquarium, taking me to the Neverland of minds and brought enthusiasm back to my journey once again.

Dubai, the city which land is covered with desert; A mall might be the only place to escape their ordinary world. It has become an extraordinary full option with all kinds of entertainment that fit inside a building. They are carefully chosen to manipulate and extend people’s pleasure as long and as often as  possible. The interior is often decorated to lead people to a different journey that hopefully brought enthusiasm to people. Then it creates great effect to their experiences.

Shopping mall has become everything for people in Dubai. These interactivity of people to the fountain, aquarium, arcade, and more, has turn mall into a theme park of  multi-activities where  a person could only reach it by experiencing it himself. As their eyes and body searching around these spaces, interpretation along with imagination creates a new narrative. Eventually, the audience would applause the experience created in this space and go home with a new story inside their minds.
