Early in the last century, the concept of "skin hunger" was introduced. Touch is the earliest and most basic sense in the human body and the most widely distributed and complex sensory system in the human body. All these mammals, including monkeys, humans and bats, experienced a mother's touch early in their lives, leading them to associate warm, soft social touch with feelings of security and intimacy.

Because of the nature of moss growth, people who want to pay attention to moss need to redirect their thoughts and senses consciously. Even if it looks lovely, it won't attract you long enough to see the details. Most of the time, moss is the most overlooked plant.

We are most vulnerable because we are also being touched when we touch others. Because moss is soft, moist, and small, it takes almost nothing from the host it touches. The basic sense of touch is sensed by our skin, the largest organ in our body, but we are so used to it that we get tired easily. On the other hand, we may have repressed our need for touch, leaving our skin thirsty and our minds lonely for a long time. Digital society has given us all the same people and things. When the person across the screen disappears, we also lose our sense of ourselves.

For this Media Studies project, I wanted to make moss into "paintings" that people could look at and touch. In practice, I collected six mosses from the roadside, the park and even the Amazon. The scientific name, species and growing environment of moss were investigated and integrated into a simple map. Different types, wetness, thicknesses, and amounts of moss provide other tactile sensations, and people experience them differently. Use the sense of touch to complete the missing "gaze" of the moss.
