For this waiting room I have made use of the view from the window.
The view consists of the patio: a surface of grey paving stones and an adjacent wall with four dark, shuttered ‘faux’ windows.
These I have covered with new window frames and glass panes, serving as picture frames for photographic images of leaves and trees.
The fourth, and last, window is shaped like a bay window. From the waiting room it looks as if this window is open (no windows can be opened anywhere in the hospital).
Behind the glass of this window is a picture of a tree hut. I remember tree huts as meeting places or places where you could hide as child and observe the surroundings unnoticed.
I have taken out the patio’s paving stones and laid down white and green pebbles instead. These pebbles are arranged in a pattern to simulate the shadow of trees, connecting the ground with the illusion of foliage behind the windows.
