ECHOES OF EMOTIONS

This project focuses on data visualization by making sense of data from statistics to visuals. The data explored in this project are recorded body rhythms (blinking, breathing, and pulsing) for visualization through p5js and TouchDesigner. Because body rhythms are directly influenced by our emotional states, visualizing these patterns can reveal subtle, often overlooked aspects of how we experience and express emotions. By transforming this physiological data into visuals, the project moves beyond presenting numbers, offering a more intuitive and empathetic understanding of the human experience through data visualization.

EXPERIENCING ANXIETY
This project explores the visualization of anxiety through body rhythm data, using textured visuals to convey the diverse ways this emotion is experienced. By transforming physiological responses into abstract patterns, the experiment highlights the unpredictable and multifaceted nature of anxiety.






The design uses a monochromatic color scheme and contrasting textures to emphasize emotional intensity and unpredictability. Tracing paper introduces a layered effect, symbolizing the blurred, shifting nature of anxiety, while the stark contrast between the white cover and darker visuals inside creates a surprising and immersive experience for viewers.










EMOTIONAL CURRENTS

This TouchDesigner work delves into the intangible nature of emotions, using fluid movement and shifting forms to reflect the constant flux of our inner states. The deep blueish-purple tones evoke a sense of introspection, blurring the boundaries between calm and unrest. As the visuals evolve, they mirror the way emotions surface, recede, and transform — a reminder of the subtle yet persistent presence of our feelings.
