Expanding upon the concept of expressing the popping action of a corn seed, this motion is transformed into a tangible environment for students to inhabit. The moments of inversion within the space create an intimate and cozy atmosphere, while the translucent material enables students to sense the presence of other students
The moments of inversion are bold yet subtle. Users can sense the presence of another person when in the space from the way the artifact is constructed. Additionally, the use of wood material offers a level of privacy to a certain extent.
