The hanging straws represent the stained glass lanterns I remembered, and I chose to use triangular panels for the roof and sides of the room, as this created a sense of perspective and a feeling of continuation - that the room never ends. The bright colours and the triangles are what inspired the stained glass instalation above. To create the effect of stained glass, I cut acrylic plastic into triangular shapes (glass was too difficult to cut, as it kept shattering and it would be more dangerous when being handled), and then used 3D outliner paint to draw the sections that would make the stained glass effect. I then painted these sections with glass paints in the colours that were most prominent in my mind. There are 9 pieces in total, and they hang from the ceiling to create a 3D piece that can be viewed from many angles and reflect sunlight when light comes through a window.
