The idea
Soul Paint is a VR experience that invites people to express feelings by painting directly onto a virtual body. The challenge was finding a way to communicate that intimate, immersive experience outside of VR.
I took a selection of real Soul Paint avatars drawn by past people, and developed them into a soft, dreamlike world inside Grand Central Station in NYC, allowing these very personal expressions to co-exist in the same space.
