The Sympathetic Motion series comprises four large-scale soft kinetic sculptures: Waiting for the Dark, Searching for the Sun, Thirsty for Air, and Making Room. The series derives its name from the musical term “Sympathetic resonance,” which refers to the harmonic phenomenon where a passive string or vibratory body responds to external vibrations that share a harmonic likeness. The series aims to explore how people’s reactions to moving objects change depending on different design qualities and movements. The design choices were made to tap into humans’ desire to anthropomorphize moving objects.
