Veiled Emotions was an interactive installation by Lunchroom Toronto founder Gabriel Li and myself. Each 2’ x 1’ sheet of “Unryu Kozo” paper illustrated the spectrum of emotions that these line patterns mean to me personally: calm and tranquil on the front-facing layer, tension on the second and utter chaos on the third.
Visitors were encouraged to interact with the piece and create photographic compositions using their phones.
