APD - Material & Inmaterial. W9 (process)

THEME
Play - Material & Inmaterial 

CONTEXT
It is usual that between couples, friends or families, unique codes of communication are built that makes them closer. Sometimes it is planned, but usually, it just happens naturally over time. 

The other day I saw a couple who were walking and talking on the street, hugging each other, both carrying shopping bags, and when they reached a step, they paused walking for about 5 seconds (while they keep the conversation) and then jumped at the same time and the same distance.  They didn't plan it or talk about it, you could tell that it was part of that unique language between the two of them. There are people who for example with a look can understand if their partner approves or disapproves a certain situation. There are other occasions when all women in a family dress the same, or even couples end up looking like each other. 

Additionally, some objects have become symbols, universal and personal codes like rings, chocolates, flowers, candles.. which are elements used around the world to express our feelings; Apologies, love, to celebrate special dates..etc. Therefor, I wanted to make an object which representated this conexion.

METHOD
I bought the materials and put them together for the pictures and the video, and used After effects for the effects.

RESPONSE
I think visually speaking is a nice object (and smells really good), but is very simple. I wanted to connect it to the computer to make react the light with music but I coulnd't find out how :S

REFLECTION
This activity took me a long time to acgtually make it because I had the same concept but a total different ideas, but I couln't get the materials for it, so then I decided it to turn it around.
It's not very usual on me, but it was really difficult to change the idea, for some reason I was stick in the other first one.
