From the beggining of my process I had a color pallete in my mind: It would be something between the bluish iceness of the snow and the orange warmth of the fire. The reason for that was the blackness of the wood in the building: the white snow would contrast with the museum, and the fire would bring life to it.

I decided to not think of the fact that the museum focus on national art, and leave it free to exhibit forms of art from all around the world. After some thinking and research I found about the Kamakura Lantern Festival in Japan, and decided to bring it to the museum, to make people question: is it some kind of outside instalation being held, or is it the people around it who decided to build it themselves? Also, for the inside of the museum,something from the other side of the world: a photograph exhibition from the brazillian artist Vik Muniz, that is not only beautiful, but his junk work follows the orange side of the chosen color pallete.
