Touch Glass is an artistic interpretation of the phrase "touch grass", commonly used to express the need to step away from the digital world and reconnect with the physical one. The piece features interactive glass sculptures inspired by the vibrant flora of Finnish summers.
The artwork emerges from an internal dialogue about balancing the life of a generative artist with that of an outdoorsy person who finds peace in foraging for berries and mushrooms in the forests. The tension between these two opposing aspects of life—each both inspiring and hindering the other—reflects a conflict familiar to many. The project seeks to reconcile these elements into a poetic and satisfying experience.
Touch Glass uses hand tracking technology to allow viewers to interact with the artwork, turning the concept of "touching" into a literal, though non-tactile, experience. This form of interaction highlights a sensory aspect often missing in digital environments, reinforcing the need to "touch grass" and reconnect with the physical world.
