Chromatic Carnival

Imagine stepping into a world where every corner explodes with colour, a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues that dance across the landscape. Each camp and installation becomes a living canvas, with bold, electric shades splashing across every surface like a giant, immersive festival of light. From the moment you arrive, you’re enveloped in a playful atmosphere where the energy of creativity and self-expression pulses through the air. By day, sunlight refracts through translucent art pieces, casting rainbows and radiant beams that transform the environment into a shifting chromatic wonderland.
