This project invites the audiences to make a simple yet impactful choice: to light or blow out a candle placed atop a sculpted brain.  This choice symbolises either enlightenment or disruption of my mind, reflecting on the cognitive and emotional processes behind decision-making. Inspired by social media challenges and participatory art, the project seeks to democratise the artistic experience by allowing audience participation, thus engaging people in a creative dialogue and social interaction.

​

In this project, I used Arduino with custom 3D-printed lighter parts, an RGB LED for the candlelight, and a PVC pipe for the candle body. The brain and candle flame are 3D-printed, while a laser-cut cardboard drawer conceals the electronics, including the Arduino Uno board.
