“CutAway” aka “Hot Potato”

IDEA

PROCESS

initial intent was to bring a physical manifestation to a “light” metaphor, ie. “She’s Glowing”.

what is being addressed in the saying/metaphor?

how can a physical light then illustrated or communicate the core of the metaphor?

IDEA

ISSUES

put a light into a heart.

how do we isolate the circuts from the blood?

is it doable within our time limit?

does the deadline restrict our ability to balance idea and shock?
