This project began from personal experiences with seasonal allergies and polluted urban air, which led me to question what exists within the air we breathe. Through scientific research, visual analysis, and material experimentation, I explored how pollutants damage pollen grains and release smaller allergenic particles that persist in the atmosphere. To make this invisible process tangible, I created an interactive installation that visualizes the interaction between pollen and pollutants at a microscopic scale, inviting visitors to experience themselves as part of the polluted air.

“ I started this project from discomfort rather than certainty, using my own bodily reactions as a point of inquiry.”
“Designing this installation became an iterative process in which each prototype exposed gaps between intended meaning and embodied experience. I learned to embrace uncertainty as a productive part of the design process, allowing the work to evolve through testing rather than fixing the outcome too early.”
