Kaleidoscope of Thoughts

Kaleidoscope of Thoughts is an interactive visual meditation on the cyclical nature of thinking and the emotional architecture of the mind.

Inspired by the phenomenon of how negative can spiral into intricate tunnels of rumination, the work visualizes the mental space as a living kaleidoscope: every input multiplied, refracted, and reshaped.
Informed by conversations with individuals who shared personal moments of distress and recurring thought loops, the piece reflects on how mental patterns form, persist, and evolve. Through Generative visuals, these fragments of pain were gently transformed into affirmations, serving as a digital intervention into entrenched thought pathways.

The visuals weave together abstracted memory, dreamlike motion, and symbolic elements drawn from nature: such as the blooming Cercis canadensis, representing fading memory sequences. The use of cyanotype references the archival quality of memories, while a color-mapped emotional spectrum infuses each visual with tone and intensity. Central to the installation is the concept of the butterfly effect, suggesting that even a small shift in perspective can lead to meaningful emotional transformation.

In this kaleidoscope, healing does not come through erasure, but through reflection and reframing.
