Oscillon "the city walker"
- city footwear concept -
Born and raised in the city of Tokyo, and currently living in the NYC,
big cites has always given me inspirations and creative perspective
I close my eyes and stand still in the middle of a city, I hear/ see /feel
the wave of sounds/color/smell
In this project, I aimed to explore the dynamics of the cities
by visually transforming it to a city footwear concept "Oscillon"
what is the sound of city ?
people, traffic, building winds,,, "breathing" , "heartbeat" of city
=
acoustic wave
what is Oscillon?
In physics, an oscillon is a soliton-like phenomenon that occurs in granular and other dissipative media. Oscillon result from vertically vibrating a plate with a layer of uniform particles placed freely on top
