Leave is an interactive installation for people who have to say goodbye at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). My approach to re-imagine the experience of LAX was to maximize the emotional experience of passengers, which is often left behind for the airport’s functional convenience. What if people can experience a "Beautiful Goodbye"? 

Leave offers a unique opportunity to write wishes or messages for your loved one, and float them out as a motion of releasing. Then the machine will turn the LED light on, as a visualization of sending it out, and the light becomes the installation that everyone at the terminal can enjoy. This abstract ceremony is not to literally hand the message to the other person—it focuses on the emotional experience of taking time to write, physically releasing one's feeling, and looking upon the lights flying out as if you make wishes on shooting stars.
