Rooted in personal experiences of pain and vulnerability, this interactive installation reinterprets self-harm not as an act of destruction, but as a yearning for sensation, control, and healing.

In Chinese, the verb “划” (huá) holds dual meanings — to cut and to row. This linguistic tension becomes the conceptual core of the work: the violent motion of cutting is reimagined as the gentle act of rowing, transforming a gesture of pain into one of movement, rhythm, and renewal.

Through real-time visuals in TouchDesigner and sensor-based Arduino interaction, participants are invited to engage with the installation. Their gestures and movements ripple across projected imagery, generating responsive patterns of light and sound. The installation creates a calm, reflective space that allows viewers to transform hurt into a shared process of healing.
