Hairway to Steven

An interactive meditation on gravity, control, and playful chaos.

Stairway to Heaven is a mobile-based interactive artwork where a skull descends from the sky, bouncing down a staircase that shifts with the user’s movements. Rotating the phone alters gravity, tilting the stairs accordingly, while pinching the screen changes their size, reshaping the space in real time. The background pulses with colorful geometric forms, adding a surreal, ever-shifting environment to the experience.

This piece explores physical interaction as a form of meaning-making, where simple gestures—tap, rotate, pinch—transform an abstract system. Ideas of cause and effect, instability, and control through touch continue to inform my artistic approach today, bridging digital playfulness with deeper conceptual inquiries.
