concept
Challenging the concept of continuity and articulation within an object by adding mechanical elements. Articulation refers to the placement of elements in architecture and it is explored in the visual language as well as in the placement of the pieces on the body. All the mechanisms are driven by one finger to promote interaction between product and user, who can produce motion along with the function of the product. When no force is applied, all pieces go back to their original state. In other words, once the mechanism is in action the pieces go through a circular process of completeness, demolition and finally reunion.
