I am doing an art projects on transformations, and specifically change over time.  My particular focus is on transient experiences which are in some way life-changing.  It is my intention to make a labyrinth paved with such experiences, and their lessons.  Labyrinths symbolise the journey of life and are also used as a form of meditation.  The viewers of the piece would interact with it, using the transformative experiences contained therein as a foundation of for walking meditation and contemplation.

I seek your help is forming a collection of transformative experiences to be used in the project.

I would like you to think of important moments in your life, experiences that in some way changed you.  It might be something that altered your views, outlook or your life as a whole.  Think of difficulties you have overcome and what you learnt from them.  I would like you to write a description of what happened and how it changed/taught you.  It can be as long or as short as you like.  If you feel like describing more than one go ahead.  If no big things made an impact write about small things.

Your input will be highly appreciated and I will post images of the project here for you to see. 

Please your experiences below or email them to amuletts@yahoo.com
