Melbourne artist Efterpi Soropos creates Human Rooms for aged care, palliative care to improve end-of-life experience

When Efterpi Soropos's mother was dying from breast cancer in the 1990s, the artist was struck by the intense light and chaotic sounds of her hospital room.

That experience and a desire to change end-of-life experiences would change the course of her work.

Ms Soropos has since spent more than a decade researching the effect of hospital environments on patients and created experimental immersive installations, known as Human Rooms, in a bid to change the atmosphere in hospitals.
