In the 23rd century, humanity lost the ability to fully feel emotions due to excessive gene editing. A lack of emotions and emptiness have begun to take over society, making life seem artificial and shallow.

In response to this need, a device called Motus Animi was created to help people feel emotions again. This device uses computer algorithms to extract emotions from a person’s facial expressions and visualize them as a reflection on the person’s silhouette. Motus Animi is like a window into the past, showing people what it was like to feel emotions in their natural state. It’s a way for people to reconnect with something they’ve lost over the centuries. The device helps people understand how emotions overlap and mix, much like how colours mix to create gradients. Overall, Motus Animi is a work of contrast and sharp colour, with a focus on emotions rather than appearance. It’s a way for people to reconnect with their humanity and feel something real again.
