These public installations make architectural space in around the forms of foam hands paraphernalia worn by sports fans. While typical foam hands are often limited to a "We're #1" finger gesture, the hand forms explored in this project encompass a broad range of communicative hand gestures inspired by the emoji lexion. In one arena box, 'The Wobble Room,' visitors are invited to interact with and activate a series of life-size hand emoji forms, animating them into friendly waves of greeting. In another room, 'The Handstand,' visitors can inhabit the hollowed-out interiors of the hand gesture forms, cuddling up into an intimate nook or resting on a shapely bench. Colorful graphics and shadow projections on the wall create of rich and immersive environment of hand-based visual communication.
