Syn-thesasia

Syn-thesasia symbolizes the bridge between human and plant. The communication is similar to the concept that humans have the characteristic of “mirror synesthesia” with each other. As the leaf cushion is connected to the human muscle system, the trace movement of the leaf can be detected and transferred to the human muscle. The moment the mimosa is stimulated, humans can feel the tactile sensation and pain from the plant, and the arm will respond like the mimosa. Conversely, when a person’s hand is hit, the connected mimosa will be stimulated. We hope to raise awareness of the sentience of plants by making humans see from a plant’s perspective and feel what it feels, moreover, creating empathy between different species.
