Concept

Just the right distance with nature.

Design

We have focused on the experience of observing creature while scuba diving. When I'm too far away I couldn't see the details, and when I'm too close they hide. I had to be quiet and still at right distance to observe it.

Research

To find the right expression for this installation, material research was an important process. Magnetic fluid exhibits a unique phenomenon suitable for organic expression. I studied magnetic fluid and magnetic fields to achieve the desired movement.
