Fire Wall

The Fire Wall is a lifesize jar with fireflies on the outside and humans on the inside. This luminous threshold alters a human's perspective on the way people interact with fireflies. 

This is a jar with multiple layers of glass. Fireflies are in the middle of the two sheets of glass while people are in the inside. The area where the fireflies exist contains water and soil to maintain a sustainable food source (snails, worms, insects). This design allows humans to witness and experience the lifestyle of fireflies and how they communicate with each other. Fireflies are always around in warm weather. This gives people a chance to learn more about this animal and how fireflies can make an impact on their lives.
