Field of Disturbance is an interactive installation that visualises the fragile nature of social order.

Through servo-driven geometric forms suspended by tension lines, the project simulates how subtle individual unrest escalates into collective breakdown.

Set within a water domain, each movement becomes a ripple—spreading instability across the queue-like system

This project explores how urban noise—especially traffic—quietly disrupts children’s attention.

Using gesture and sound, I visualise how focus is formed like a thread—and how it frays under pressure.

Inspired by research linking noise exposure to rising ADHD rates, the work reflects how something as everyday as a passing car can ripple into a child’s learning.

This sound interaction module explores how environmental noise affects cognitive processes, particularly in children.

By mapping decibel levels to visual disruption, it reflects how everyday sounds—like traffic or sirens—can trigger instability in focus and learning.
