About this work

When one shakes hands, the conductive cloth attached to the other's fingertips touches the conductive cloth attached to the back of one's hand, and the LED in one's hand glows.

By filling the space inside the hand with light, a conversation was created between the people who shook hands.Conversations were also generated from the people around them, making the atmosphere of the place more friendly. This experience convinced me that by integrating art into people's lives, it is possible to create warm and quality connections between people.
