The concept of the bubble was to be a cuddle puddle that resembled the womb. I purposely made this dome so that people would have to crawl into it just like a little baby and cuddle with all the teddy bears. Pink is the first color that humans see. When you are in the womb and light is coming in through the skin of your mother you are seeing pink. There are studies that show that pink is a calming and comforting color because of this. They even have rooms in mental institutions and prisons for the ones who have aggressive tendencies. Thats why I made the lighting a glowing pink that reflected off of the metallic exterior. The entire dome was about pink. People would come in and cuddle and meet one another as an elmo doll suddenly shouts "elmo sleepy" right before it sings a lullaby.
