Research Plate, investigating the definition of visibility and the basic functioning mechanisms of the human eye

Compilation of initial concept sketches, exploring possible forms, patterns, and body parts to be involved in the intended product.

Early sketch models made of lightweight muslin, jute twine, and phosphorescent tape for investigating form and rudimentary function.

Iterative sketch models investigating patterns and layouts of the phosphorescent material, as well as fitting in terms of how the fabric is cut.

Iterative sketches exploring different methods and approaches to wearability on a person's upper arm.  Also investigated are decorative and/or functional shapes and patterns for the intended glowing part.
