The project aimed at creating a portal from personal interpretation of Babel story. A simple, vertical route was inserted in Room 237, which is the symbol of alluring in Shining movie. During the journey, people walk through the core with excessive stimulation and the one with calm atmosphere. When the cost of being greed is huge, or it is not happier than you assume, how would you choose?
