introduction


Air is invisible. We cannot see, hear, or touch it. Similar to the issues related to air pollution. We added water as a mediator to help you experience how your mundane actions affect air through sound and vision.


Our “small” actions in our daily lives can result in “bigger” effects than how we perceive them. However, it means that little actions that seem meaningless will contribute to Worsening air pollution. We hope this will inspire you to bring more attention to the current issue of air pollution and take action, no matter how small the step is.



recipe for action

  1. Collect soapy water you used to wash your hand with shower gel, and transfer it into the small bowl.

  2. Put the straw in the bowl.

  3. Close your eyes & take a normal breath.

  4. Do one slow exhale into the straw until you're out of breath and feel the sound of bubble forming and bursting.

  5. Open your eyes and observe the bubbles you have created.
