How can the emotional pendulum become a structure of feeling?
This project investigates emotional dualities through the metaphor of a pendulum, translating the swing between love and hate into spatial proportion and material form. By studying imbalance and mapping its rhythm into folded structures, it explores how psychological tension can be visualized and held within physical design.
The pendulum sequence captures this emotional duality through timing, tension, and balance. The oscillation embodies the human condition, a continual back-and-forth between desire and denial. Visually, the piece conveys curiosity and empathy, inviting viewers to project their own emotional rhythms into the motion.
Extending from the emotional rhythm of the pendulum, this phase explores how tension and release can take physical form.
The 3D accordion becomes a structural metaphor, translating emotional oscillation into folds, hinges, and layers that move between compression and openness.
Through iterative modeling and digital simulation, I examined how emotions like pressure, softness, and duality could manifest as spatial gestures rather than static objects.
The result is a sculptural study that feels alive, expanding, bending, and breathing with the same rhythm as the emotions that inspired it.
The final outcome is a static physical model that captures the frozen tension between love and hate, a moment where emotional rhythm solidifies into form.
Each fold embodies contrast: expansion and compression, attraction and resistance. The structure stands still, yet its layered geometry suggests movement held in suspension.
Through this process, emotion became material, no longer an abstract feeling, but a visible and touchable structure. The piece invites reflection on how emotional states can be translated into spatial language, revealing the beauty within contradiction and restraint.

This project taught me to translate emotional experiences into tangible structures to let form emerge from feeling. The pendulum’s motion became a design tool, revealing how contradiction, rhythm, and tension can build visual systems that are both poetic and structured.
A curated selection of projects that tell stories through the balance of digital and physical design.
