In this paper we are introducing an installation and a concept for human emotion recognition, as well as using emotion as a medium for dynamic creation of it's visual interpretation. The main guideline of this project was to give the aesthetic meaning to basic human emotions and providing a visual representation by applying written messages, colour values and graphical forms which reflect the given emotion, creating a unique way to visualize the given state and developing a new type of interaction between users and their own emotions.
