Interpretation of works:
Since the global epidemic in 2020, maintaining social distance between people has become the new normal for survival. However, we are eager to surpass the social distance of "1.2 meters" and let life return to the original freedom and calm relative. The inspiration of "1.2 meters" comes from this. This is an intelligent interactive fashion accessory work, there are many ways to wear it. When the social distance between the wearer and friends and passers-by is less than "1.2 meters", the interactive induction will gradually light up from dark, and the accompanying rhythm is like breathing. The viewer can understand it as a friendly reminder, but what he can feel more is a rhythm of warmth, such as the light of life lights up our hearts.

Comments of Responsible Tutor:
Hubei is thinking about how to enhance the emotional transmission of the accessories through the interactive experience design of intelligent fashion accessories. The interactive sensing device of the work "1.2 meters" emphasizes the irreplaceable meaning of the interaction between people (rather than people and things). While exploring the interactive function of smart fashion accessories and the aesthetic relationship, she is also paying attention to social issues. Thinking about social distance and human emotional needs in the epidemic era. The generous form of accessories, from the dark and brightening rhythm and breathing at the same frequency, deduces the light brought by shortening social distance, which will give people spiritual warmth. Encourage people to approach each other and reap warmth.
