HMR Designs’ Decor Shows Cancer in a New Light for the U of C Cancer Research Gala
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) December 18, 2015 -- John Hensel, Senior Event Designer at HMR Designs, got people thinking about cancer in a new light with the breathtaking décor he created and customized for the U of C Cancer Research Gala. The Gala, chaired by Annemette Clausen and Annette Carroll, welcomed 450 attendees to raise money for the Cancer Research Center.
"The real challenge was to take something that’s ultimately quite sinister and unforgiving, and make it beautiful. It was an all-around aesthetic rethinking,” says Hensel.
Hensel created this compelling décor by featuring high resolution images of cancer cells and microscope slides that were intensely enlarged and illuminated with rich fuchsias, deep amethysts and cool blues. Then, the images were further incorporated into focus pieces, such as being placed within LED lit frames that were strung with orchids and backed by various glass vessels.
Hansel had the unenviable task of taking something harsh and turning into something inspiring. Rather than focus on the negative side of cancer, the creative designer focused on the beautiful, warm, caring aspects of the disease – the inspiration, the people behind the treatment, the supporters – and in doing so made it incredibly beautiful. The striking end result showed how HMR Designs is capable of making nearly anything elegant.
