通過反覆的觸感、與人的連結感來達到減緩焦慮安心效果的戒指組

The series of rings that reduce anxiety and relief through repeated touch and connection with people.
Fear is an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger and it is always accompanied by anxiety. Most of human beings who lived in modern society often scare themselves.

-
本能恐懼
我們做了問卷調查,選項像是 火焰、深水、未知、高處、黑暗,而黑暗高達80%

Instinct fear
We did a survey with options like flames, deep water, unknowns, heights, and darkness. The result show the fear percent of darkness up to 80%.





研究材質在指尖的觸感,不去定義觸感的好壞,而是用身體去感受的細微體驗,做出適合攜帶的觸覺系療癒工具。

Discover the possibilities of texture
Research the tactile of the material at the fingertips. Without defining the quality of the tactile, instead, using whole body to feel and experience.





觸覺是指分布於全身皮膚上的神經細胞接受來自外界的溫度、濕度、疼痛、壓力、振動等方面的感覺。
狹義的觸覺,指刺激輕輕接觸皮膚觸覺感受器所引起的膚覺。
廣義的觸覺,還包括增加壓力使皮膚部分變形所引起的膚覺,即壓覺。一般統稱為「觸壓覺」

通過重複單一的觸覺感受來轉換分散對恐懼焦慮的注意,達到減緩療癒的效果。

Tactile sense refers to the feeling that the nerve cells distributed on the whole body's skin receive temperature, humidity, pain, pressure, vibration, and the like from the outside.
Narrow sense of touch refers to the skin sensation caused by the light touch of the tactile receptors of the skin.
The generalized sense of touch also includes the feeling of the skin caused by the deformation of the skin, which is caused by the deformation of the skin. Generally referred to as "touch pressure"

“Fear cannot be erased, it’s more likely to be converting it into other feelings.”
​​​​​​​
By repeating the single tactile sensation, the distracting attention to fear anxiety is converted to achieve the effect of comfort.
Circulation 重複的重複 - 分離出「覺」的動作,重複的專注、重複的平靜。
Circulation    Repeated repetition - Separation of "sense" movements, repeated focus, repeated calm.

This is a movable ring designed for index finger. 
The ball can slide on the track. You can use the thumb to complete this repetitive movement.

Connection 連結的感知 - 圓的盈缺、亞當的肋骨、碰觸及連結、我在意你。
Connection    Connection Perception - Round surplus, Adam's ribs, touches and links, I care about you.

This ring is made of metal, wood and acrylic. We added the sense of connection with another person by joining two rings together. Though can be worn by one, it works better when being worn by two persons separately. The wooden ring has white acrylic fibers on the surface, which provide a slightly fluffy feel. The simple metal one has the tactile of a smooth spheroid. There’s a cavity on the wooden one to place the metal ball when they are joined together. While you are in an anxious mood and keep touching the ring, the spheroid and the cavity will remind you of each other’s companion.
Roughness 粗糙的滑順 - 分離出「觸」的紋理,為粗糙的美好觸感正名。
Roughness    Rough smoothing - Separating the texture of the "touch", combining rough and soft to achieve balance.

The blocky shape is derived from the collection of rock. The commonly-thought dissatisfaction of roughness and the smoothness of silver are combines together and turn into an addictive touch.
