Gently Brushing the Surface
2025-#01



“Bleu des seins.” This work explores how individuals interact and influence one another through the transmission of symbols and meanings. The flesh and the face represent our most primal desires, with “Bleu des seins” functioning as their symbolic signifier. The duration in which a hand gently brushes across the surface becomes the very process of human interaction and mutual influence. Within this duration, actions, emotions, interventions, comprehensions, and reactions converge to construct the dynamics of relationship and interaction.
“Bluehour&Bluecut” expresses the notion that touch leaves enduring traces. The compact, intimate binding incites readers to engage in diverse tactile behaviors, while thermochromic materials allow these invisible vestiges to be manifested in a visual form.
