In my project "Less is more" I worked with a combination of the ideas of Epicurus and Stoic philosophy, which coincide in the conviction that true happiness lies in a simple and moderate life, free from fear, suffering and dependence on material goods. They stress that happiness comes from within, not from external conditions, and that by limiting one's desires one can achieve inner peace and contentment.

I convey this idea by using a digital mirror that attempts to reflect those thoughts and fears of a person that are often unnecessarily burdensome.

The project was finalised in TouchDesigner.
