Love to Hate, Hate to Love.

What if contradiction itself was a mirror of our desires? A visual essay exploring how pleasure and guilt, love and discomfort, coexist in daily life.

Background

(01)

The Mechanics of Duality

How does the emotional spectrum move? I investigated the concept of the "emotional pendulum"—a psychological system where love and hate are not static opposites, but active forces in constant oscillation.

My research focused on translating this invisible swing into spatial proportion and material form. By studying the physics of imbalance and mapping its rhythm into folded structures, I explored how psychological tension could be captured and held within a physical design object.

Visualizing the Pendulum

How do you give physical form to an abstract feeling? This project investigates the psychological tension between opposing states—pleasure and guilt, love and discomfort. I wanted to translate this emotional "pendulum" into a spatial experience, moving beyond 2D video into a dimensional, structural reality.

From Digital Motion to Physical Fold

This project required bridging the gap between screen-based animation and physical sculpture.

The Metaphor: I used the physics of a pendulum—its timing, tension, and gravity—as the driver for the design system.
The Form: I designed a 3D accordion structure—a "pleated canvas"—that mimics the expansion and compression of lungs. The geometry was scored and folded by hand to create depth.
The Light: I created a motion study in After Effects, exploring tension and release. This digital layer was then projection-mapped back onto the physical folds

Outcome

(04)

Frozen Tension

The final piece is a mixed-media installation. The physical model remains static, acting as the "body," while the projected light acts as the "soul."

By overlaying these two layers, the object appears to breathe and mutate. The light doesn't just sit on the surface; it interacts with the peaks and valleys of the paper, distorting the image to create a sculptural hologram.

Why It Matters

This project was an exercise in sensory translation. It taught me how to take a time-based medium (video) and anchor it to a spatial medium (sculpture). For interaction design, this is critical: understanding how digital content "lives" on physical surfaces is the key to creating immersive environments.
