This installation acts as a living mirror. A camera reads the smallest shifts in the visitor’s facial expression, identifies the emotion behind them, and feeds that signal to an AI model that transforms their image in real time. What appears on screen are gentle distortions, glowing echoes, hidden feelings made visible on the skin. Frame by frame, the model paints an inner emotional landscape onto the visitor’s face. Each glance is amplified — giving us a chance to catch those brief, passing emotions that would otherwise slip by unnoticed.
