completely covered in mirrors, the no sunset, no sunshine pavilion by walllasia can be found in a hidden cliff, where locals and tourists can find a peaceful retreat from the hectic resort town. inside, a sculpture of yai sa ? an old woman who patiently awaits for her partner who left home to find the ultimate truth ? acts as a symbol of love and waiting.
 
 
?this project is life-specific, it represents the parallel world between the ultimate truth world and illusional world,? comment the architects on their webpage. ?it is also there to create awareness of the condition of a timeless moment that is not self-attached. that is the connection between inner and outer space (subjective and objective), you and me.?
