Faultline of Borrowed Skin at Festival Scale
I wanted to show the instant when a shared celebration becomes an instrument that prints private signals onto a communal surface. I built a migrating, thermochromic crust that misreads intention and hardens in place, then forces fusion and erasure between neighboring zones until authorship is undecidable.
