This artistic research intends to further academic discourse by examining the potential of leveraging aesthetics in VR experiences, considering both the philosophical concept of beauty and taste and the visual elements of symmetry, colour, scale, form, and sound design using spatial audio. Additionally, the visual and spatial audio VR experience developed through this research serves as a proof of concept for the use of aesthetics and compositional elements to create a heightened sense of presence and mindfulness in a VR experience
