Calm to Chaos

Gesture-responsive kinetic installation that translates the shift between calm and chaotic breathing into motion. At the heart of this piece is a double pendulum, a naturally chaotic system that never produces the outcome twice. When distraction sets in, the sculpture retracts its accordion backdrop and rotates its dial in a steady, predictable path, guiding the viewer back to a calmer state. As breathing steadies, the backdrop expands and the pendulum returns to its unpredictable dance, offering a view that can never be replicated, inviting the viewer to be truly present. This continuous cycle of change turns mindfulness into a tangible, ever-evolving experience.
