illusio (illusions of reality)
Documented forms
 
Loreto Normanhurst   Underpinned by the theory of existentialism, illusio explores the philosophical realm of a subjective reality and its influence on an individual’s search for purpose in human existence. Upon taking a closer look inside the life-size doorway, our image stares back at us in the mirror and reminds us that we are the opportunities the world presents. Illusio essentially denotes a surreal image of existence – an image so bizarre we are instinctively inquisitive about whether it is merely a mirage or whether it is a tangible reality.
