Interactive Art Website about Mindfullness

​

Annette's "Mindfulearth" series, inspired by the question "What if the sky and earth—a landscape—replaced the human heart?", uses shapes of landscapes or pieces of the earth to express emotions. 

 

The “Mindfulearth” interactive digital art website invites audiences to explore their emotions. The artwork draws from the Korean proverbs "feeling grounded"—symbolizing stability and rootedness—and "floating in the air"—conveying disconnection and instability. Expanding on her previous works, where triangular hollow shapes of the earth represented depression, the digital iteration of “Mindfulearth” plunges deeper into the emotional terrain, seeking stability within the earth itself.

Annette examines how positive emotions tend to flow freely, while negative emotions often linger, unresolved. Within this digital landscape, each mass of earth embodies a buried emotion in need of attention. The experience features approximately 50 ‘Pieces of the Earth,’ each labeled with a different negative emotion. Users can click on these fragments to uncover the emotions and arrange them within a designated space, ultimately shaping their own ‘Earth of the Heart.’​​
