Healing Within Ripples
Sound & Light & Position Interactive InstallationHealing Within Ripples is an interactive installation that combines sound and light responsiveness to convey the transformative power of emotional release, comparing the cleansing capacity of tears to rain, and symbolizes how this personal healing can ripple outward, influencing and reshaping the world around us.
The inspiration comes from my father’s death. His death made me feel an urgent need to grow up quickly. I believed that even in my grief, I shouldn't cry incessantly, as I felt that tears couldn't solve any problems and it somehow seemed weak. So, I began to hold back my tears, until one day, they could be contained no more...
However the truth is, “Our society looks down on perceived weakness and crying is definitely considered weak.”
