OMO expresses the idea of nostalgia, and the interconnectivity of it in our lives. nostalgia is the sentimental longing or affectionate remembrance of our past, specifically for a time or place associated with a sense of personal happiness. As we move forward with our lives, this emotion reoccurs time and time again, cycling back to these memories and allowing for us to relive them and the feelings they brought us. OMO helps us reconnect with our nostalgic memories as well as align our emotions with others. In its tunnel design, there is a visual portrayal of traveling back to a nostalgic memory, while the lighting and colors that blooms from within represent the memories we come back to. When one looks through OMO, they are drawn back into that circle of nostalgia that we experience through our lives again. When both sides of OMO are viewed together, and we get to see someone on the other side, no matter what personal memories or feelings we associate with nostalgia, in that moment we connect as one and get to share that moment in time with another. Our experience becomes a part of the cycle, creating a moment for us to reminisce on in our future. OMO is lighting, a memory, and a moment that will interconnect us with our nostalgic emotions once again.
