Design Choices

I decided to design a small flower installation because it would be both unobtrusive and can be featured both in an area full of actual plant life, or in most types of room as a simple decoration. Typically, flower arrangements go unnoticed fairly easily, so I wanted to create a way to draw attention through motion, noise, and lighting.

Colored lights make the flowers’ “emotions” less ambiguous. In their resting state, they reflect a calm blue and purple color. When the arrangement is startled or disturbed, the colors flip to red and yellow to show the flowers’ alarm and discontent.
