“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?

IDEAwhat was taken away from that initial conceptual prototype was that the light wasn’t the point. the physical struggle, the uncertainty of end, the sense of discovery all leads to why.
