The light activated blooming flower is designed to represent the cycle of setting intentions, making choices, and seeing those intentions materialize. In the creative field, every project begins with a spark—an idea, a feeling, or an intention. But it’s the actions we take in response to that initial spark that transform it into a real, shareable creation. The project thus symbolizes the artist's journey, highlighting the connection between touch (representing effort or engagement) and the visible movement of the flower (representing progress or realization of intentions).

The mirror setup surrounding the glass dome amplifies this metaphor, allowing the viewer to see multiple angles of the flower and reflect upon the various dimensions of their own creative aspirations. It invites introspection: as users reach out to activate the sensor, they initiate a tangible transformation that mirrors the way intentionality and creativity evolve.
