Invention: A Womb of One’s Own

A way to take a break from life and dissolve away every day stresses. It’s a kind of isolation chamber – sort of like in the movie Altered States – but this one won’t transform you into a lard-monster.

From the outside it looks like a giant over-sized Mueck sculpture of a woman’s pregnant belly. A door opens to reveal a warm, cushioned environment. Curl up in the fetal position and close the door. All outside sounds turn to a muffle. The womb glows in a pleasing orange/red light. You can hear your mother’s heartbeat. You should probably meditate while you’re in there, too.

It’d be cool to have this thing suspended in some kind of gyoscopic contraption, that’s immune to vibrations and bumps. Imagine getting on an airplane, then crawling into the Womb, and not being able to ever hear or feel the plane for the entire trip. I’d like it because flying gives me the heebee jeebee’s.

No sketch for this one – unless someone wants to contribute…
