Set in an opulent warehouse in New Orleans, the installation features a series of interconnected rooms, each representing different spiritual realms explored in her writings.

Visitors begin their journey in a dimly lit space adorned with flowing, translucent fabrics and mirrored surfaces that reflect the fluidity of dance. As they move through the space, they encounter live performances where dancers embody the spirits and deities from voodoo lore, their movements guided by Luna’s choreographed sequences.
