Karma Hotel is in one reality, the Mood Disorders Unit (MDU) of the infamous Institute of Mental Health (IMH) formerly known as Woodbridge Hospital in Singapore. What goes on behind the locked doors of the hospital, especially inside the patients' minds is a mystery to even the best psychiatrists and psychologists. In Yohanna Abdullah's creative mind, MDU is a NASA space station on Mars.
