Graphic artist Camille Walala's 'Temple of Wonder' is a boldly vibrant and [immersive labyrinth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chroma-installation) designed for seasoned and novice art lovers of all ages.

The exhibition invites guests to release their inner child as they explore the memorizing patterns and colors that decorate the enclosed space. An assortment of stripes, polka dots and zig zag patterns are scattered throughout the walls, floor and passageways, leaving both a visual impression and physical experience. Mirrored panels are placed throughout to reflect the structure, confusing guests' sense of space, while walls of varying heights disrupt the guests' sense of scale. This exhibition features a [playful distortion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-play) that's both exciting and rewarding for anyone who takes part.

This vibrant gallery focuses on experience over articulation, creating a more accessible and immersive experience for the masses.
