As If To Say (Deseverance)
This project is about the intuitive nature of people, body language as an unconscious reflection of their own emotions, doing things before they even realize why. Inexpressible feelings that act out on human body.
The giraffe is a metaphor for our inner emotions, feelings of separation from others, from the world, and even from itself. These moments of disconnection are emotional, and existential.
The project creates a soft way for people to do so, especially those who find themselves hard to express. This installation offers a new kind of interaction that doesn’t rely on words or explanations but softens the distance between those people and the outside world.
Mingu wants to invite everyone, regardless of background, to pause and think about the feelings we all experience but often ignore. It encourages empathy, making invisible emotions feel seen and understood, for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed and alone.
