Beauty in Motion

Ring collection

Beauty in Motion is a collection of wearable objects for an audio-visual-performance - which explores the creation of wearable objects that visually enhances and magnifies the movements created through playing music.

When used, Beauty in Motion creates new interesting patterns, revealing and capturing the unseen patterns of the wind and the motion of the hand. Light, flowing movement translates lightness visually,

meanwhile, emotions are expressed through the object.

In August 2017, Beauty in Motion collaborated with Linying (Falling Feathers)

in The Arts Carnival 2017 event held by National University of Singapore (NUS).
