The work presents a figure with human characteristics, made of wood, metal and
electronic elements. The eyes of the figure are handmade earrings, the nose is a silver ring
and its mouth is a screen that responds to the observer's distance through a sensor.

The interesting element of the structure is its interactivity: at first it attracts the viewer with
with the phrase "Look how bright I am", as if inviting him to notice her. However, as the distance decreases, the figure's attitude changes, warning "Please don't touch". If the observer gets even closer further, the figure becomes irritated and displays tooth-like symbols (ΛΛΛΛΛΛΛΛΛΛΛVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV), creating a feeling of rejection or self-protection.

This reaction is not accidental. It reflects the idea that something valuable should not be treated with frivolity. The need for attention, respect and recognition of value is evident through the very behaviour of the project itself.
