Breath of Seasons

FOCUS: Exploring the use of respiration's physiological cycle-inhale → pause → exhale-as a metaphor for balance in emotions and nature's cycles.

APPROACH: Three distinct rooms guide visitors through changing sensory environments-tactile resistance, reflective stillness, and open-air release-creating a full-bodied interaction with space and self.

CONCEPT: Breathing as a seasonal transformation. Instead of literally referring to seasons, each state represents a shift in energy: effort, awareness, and renewal — paralleling life transitions with the cyclical regeneration occurring in nature.

OUTCOME: This is an installation that creates a looping sensory experience moving from constriction → presence → openness, where the grounded textures, mirrored expansiveness, and soft landscape culminate in a soothing meditative release under the sky. Breath of Seasons serves to show how spatial design can control internal rhythms and makes mindful pauses through subtle multisensory hints.
