Inspiration
The project was conceived as a metaphor for one’s emotional wall. In the post-election political climate where the regional, political, religious, ideological, and generational division of people had been highlighted, Manako wanted to explore ways to visualize the interaction in which one lifts an emotional barrier and connects with others. The capacitive sensor was chosen to represent this interaction through a physical touch, and ball chains were selected for the emotional barrier.
