Zora — Fidan Zeynalova

Zora is an interactive installation designed to portray the beauty of nature while creating a grounding experience. To achieve this installation’s full potential, one can approach Zora to trigger a sequence of mesmerizing lights to help transition the user into deep breathing. When inactive, it uses a gentle flickering light sequence that invites relaxation and ease.

Documentation

Zora has been constructed by 3 teammates, Austin Appleton, Fidan Zeynalova, & Nolan Vetter, in the Design Studio course at the University of Colorado Boulder. Diverse backgrounds of each teammate brought this mediative concept to life during Spring 2021.
