How can we increase interpersonal interaction at the T-stop, where everyone is only focused on getting to their destination? When strangers try to solve the word puzzle together, it gives them a reason to chat and share a moment. By conducting multiple rounds of user testing, our group was successful in getting a high number of interactions in such an utilitarian location.

A culturally significant Korean card game called Hwatu is often used among the older generation as a betting game. While visiting South Korea, I could recall my grandmother playing a game with Hwatu cards by herself as she watched over my brother and me.
This painting was the first time I explored with combining 2D designs on a representational painting. I used designs from the Hwatu cards to create dynamic movement and balance between positive and negative space
