Instill was an installation, purposed to invite people on a pilgrimage to move from a busy life into a place of stillness and rest.
The installation encompassed a room with black walls, floor and ceiling. White veils attached from ceiling to floor forming a maze which the viewer is invited to enter. On a journey to the centre of the art installation the viewer found a fire place with candles and blank pieces of paper with pens. As they read the following words: "Come to me all who are heavy laden and I will give you rest" an invitation was presented for the viewer to write down the burdens they were carrying.
As the viewer continues the journey they found a big basin with water which was lit up. In this place of encounter, the opportunity to let go and leave their notes on a tray in the centre of the basin was presented. A chance of letting go of the things that had kept them from entering into rest.
