The environment in which we live is filled with countless changes and traces that permeate our existence through breath and sensation. Although we may not be immediately aware of it, subtle shifts in our surroundings deeply influence our bodies and emotions. Life A: Floating Senses explores the relationship between the invisible environment, our senses, and our very being, asking to what extent we truly perceive our surroundings in daily life. This exhibition seeks to visualize the presence of these unseen particles and reveal how they affect our everyday experiences and contribute to the construction of our existence.   

A emits fluorescent plastic fragments from its tentacles; these tiny pieces vibrate and flicker in response to changes in the surrounding environment. A becomes a sensory extension of these imperceptible environmental fluctuations, and the glowing plastic fragments not only symbolize A’s vitality, but also represent the fine airborne particles—particularly microplastics—that invisibly surround us and impact our health and ecosystems. 

Their trembling, levitating motion visuall amplifies the instability of sensation and existence, reminding us of how sensitively environmental changes resonate within us. Life A: Floating Senses investigates how unseen particles within the air and environment — which we encounter daily without conscious awareness—shape our perception and being.
