Obsidian Reflections is an immersive installation inspired by the legend of La Llorona. Three fountains of black water act as living mirrors where generative AI transforms the visitor’s reflection and voice in real time. The water reveals different ages of the self, whispering you must play, you must survive, you must forgive. It invites people to face darkness not as fear but as a space of memory, presence, and renewal.

We Will Design 2026 — HELLO, DARKNESS embraces design as a tool for subverting hierarchies and weaving together ecologies and technologies to imagine the cities and societies of the future.
It is an invitation to recognize the abyss — political, ecological, aesthetic — we’re living in, not as a place of fear, but as a space of regeneration, resistance, and imagination. Darkness here is not absence, but a fertile condition that embraces invisible gestures, marginalized knowledge, and luminous forms of resistance.
