Tear Blossom

DM-GY 9973 B IDM Thesis

Tear Blossom is an interactive installation that examines how interactive experiences can reshape emotional perception, focusing on the tension between emotional suppression and the acceptance of vulnerability. 

Built on the 4E view of mind and body (embodied, embedded, enacted, and extended), the installation shows how emotion isn’t locked inside us. It flows between people, objects, and places. As the viewer interact, the work reveals vulnerability not as a weakness but as fertile ground for empathy and connection.
