Breathe Divination is a ritual-rich two-person plant divination device designed to restore people’s connection with the world during divination.This installation reimagines divination as a ritual of reconnecting with nature rather than relying on instant AI readings on a phone. By breathing together with the plant, two participants jointly create a moment, where their shared energy is reflected through the ancient logic of the eight trigrams. The process emphasizes slowness, presence, and ceremony—transforming divination into a direct dialogue with the living world.
