LOST
Based of the garden of exile, the lost phase of the maze has these long tall pillars in which the player feels them as they walk throug.

Inspired from a traditional log cabin, these walls will be backlit with a warm light to create the relaxing feeling. While this directional wall is angling out from the anxiety space to a larger area before entering the next emotion.
