Overview
abstract
"Find Your Aura" is an immersive audiovisual experience that draws inspiration from the popular Gen Z concept of "aura", a reflection of one's emotional energy.

The atmosphere of the visuals and sounds shifts based on facial expressions. Through these interactions, "Find Your Aura" allows participants to explore and express their emotional states in real time.
concept
Being chronically online, this was partly inspired by the popular Gen Z slang “aura” and  a viral Tiktok filter where users match facial expressions to progress through levels.

Additionally, the widespread fascination with MBTI types and personality quizzes, which attempt to define 'who you are,' sparked the idea to go beyond words and represent one's identity through visuals and sound.

Combining these influences led to the creation of 'Find Your Aura,' an experience that allows users to explore and express their emotional states in a dynamic way.
As users draw on the screen, trail particles are created, each accompanied by sounds that progress based on the duration of the interaction. These visual and auditory elements combine to create a unique, immersive experience that reflects the user’s aura in real time.
