Fortune Project 2016-17
Fortune Project started from my interest in two different behavior of people: believing the stories and affection towards D.I.Y.(Do It Yourself). For example, customizable options for sandwiches and self-checkout section in stores were interesting to me as it shows the desire for customization and independence. I wondered what makes people want to be in control of the decision, and it led me to imagine the service/product that could change one's palm line, which is believed to be a representation of one's life and fortune.
