The windows of the Donnell Library will be the host of a visual labyrinth that encourages the public to find its way through by means of a systematic series of questions proposed in the form of visual metaphors and riddles.

Employing a fun and satirical take on the language of scientific surveys, this visual labyrinth is designed to both utilize and challenge facets of psychology, astrology, and religion that attempt to categorize the human condition into a few distinct personality types. As the viewers move from left to right, they are challenged with thought-provoking visual questions — sometimes whimsical, satirical, and abstract. In the end, each indiviidual will reach a conclusion offering various pseudo-scientific and spiritual explanations and advice. The experience offered has the potential to be not only self-revelatory but it also proposes the possibility of a communal sense of discovery.
