I asked people in different types of relationships to perform the same action, a hug and captured the movement of their hands using hand-tracking technology.

By translating physical contact into time-based data, the project examines how the same gesture changes across relational contexts and whether intimacy can be observed through subtle differences in movement.

I divided the data into individual elements to closely examine each hug. By breaking the gesture into smaller components, I could analyze how the same physical action varies depending on the relationship between participants.

I transformed these elements into sculptural visualizations, generating three-dimensional forms derived from the data. Each sculpture corresponds to an individual hug.
