DESIGN NAME: Meditation
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Meditate and Lighting
INSPIRATION: With the continuous development of the times, the Buddhist culture lacks some effective means of communication, which makes it gradually fade out of people's horizons. Nowadays, people are getting busier. They are exhausted in a fast-paced life, but there is no way to get a effective and meaningful meditation to relax themselves . Therefore, how to promote Buddhist culture, promote Buddhist activities, and carry out meaningful meditation? has become a key issue to be solved urgently.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Meditation is a public installation art product that combines with pumice for sculpting and remodeling. Shallow surface depressions can invisibly guide people to complete the correct meditation posture. "Meditation" will emit light of different brightness at night for people to illuminate according to the duration of people meditating on it. This also coincides with the beautiful meaning of being beautiful, forgetting me in Buddhism.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The bottom of the Meditation is connected to the solar power source, and the negative electrode is connected to the top. When people sit on the Meditation, the pressure will make the positive and negative contacts, so that the "Meditation" can be charged to provide night illumination. , the length of charge determines the strength of the night light
Based on the pressure points generated by the correct meditation posture in meditation, we add the Meditation surface to the shallow depression mark, which invisibly guides people to use the correct posture for meditation to make meditation more meaningful.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project began in October 2018 and was completed in February 2019 at zhengzhou university of light industry

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: On the one hand, as the pace of modern life accelerates, people become more and more busy, and people need to take meditation with extra tools such as yoga mats, so that people can't take any time to meditate. On the other hand, the forgetfulness of Buddhist culture makes people can't understand the correct meditation posture, and the lack of a suitable environment makes people unable to visit nature, thus making meditation meaningless.
CHALLENGE: Meditation uses pressure charging, and electricity comes from solar energy. We should protect and propagate religious culture and strive to improve our practice, which can help us to seek simple, effective and meaningful practice in our busy life.
