For Bidden Truth

For Bidden Truth is a large-scale interactive installation featuring a 7-foot tall tree sculpture with illuminated, pluckable leaves. Audiences are invited to keep the leaves once they have finished the interaction.

This was presented in April 2025 at METAMORPHOSIS, the New Media program's annual thesis exhibition.

Documentation completed by Finch Assadoullaev, Vivian Fung, and Chau Nguyen.
