EchoShell

EchoShell proposes an embodied audio system for emotional recovery following social rejection, mediating a gentle return from distress. Taking a shell-like form, it translates minimal gestures into an intimate intervention, bypassing the cognitive demands of typical interfaces. Through four auditory modes, the experience treats sound as an affective material to validate, shift, and stabilize physiological states. This work introduces a multisensory environment where vulnerability finds a quiet condition to land.
