Walking with Trace Behind is an interactive sound installation that requires participants to carry it through a quiet evening forest. I intend to transform this experience into a sacred ritual of healing, using the piece to direct one's attention to itself and the immediate surroundings, leading participants into a state of mind where they focus on the present. I used repetition such as line, shape, shadow, the bounciness of the piece when moving, and walking pace to achieve a hypnosis effect on participants, and guide their attention to spread outward using the soundwave of bells. I designed this experience to "empty" the brain of participants, allowing them a short gap away from everyday life to breathe the air of relief and mindfulness.
