I Hold Your Breath: Objectifying Moment to Exchange

I Hold Your Breath is a soft, wearable system that transforms invisible breath into a tangible, shareable presence. It visualizes intimacy as a physical gesture by capturing the warmth, rhythm, and moisture of one’s breath. Grounded in research confirming that breath, when objectified, can meaningfully evoke intimacy, this poetic exchange redefines connection through the quiet energy of what we leave behind.
Learning Outcomes:
Research showed that capturing and exchanging breath as a tangible object can foster a strong sense of intimacy and presence. I Hold Your Breath emerged from this insight, turning invisible breath into a quiet, embodied connection. The project highlights how sensory rituals grounded in lived data can redefine how we understand care, memory, and emotional proximity.
