For the development of an interactive experience where participants cross diverse realities with interconnected dynamics, I carefully selected the storyline of Avatar: The Last Airbender. This animated series portrays a world where individuals possess the extraordinary ability of bending, enabling them to manipulate one of the four elements: water, earth, fire, or air. However, the central figure, the Avatar, possesses the rare gift of bending all four elements, serving as the crucial link between the physical and spirit worlds. Charged with the responsibility of upholding harmony among the world's four nations, the Avatar's journey embodies themes of balance, unity, and interconnectedness, making it an ideal narrative foundation for the experience.

To thoroughly explore the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, my research journey started with online articles and videos, which provided an overview of the series. To immerse myself deeper, I watched the entire first season, allowing me to absorb the narrative intricacies firsthand. To distill my observations, I created a visual board adorned with scene screenshots. On this board, I utilized yellow stickies to highlight significant narrative elements—such as character developments and thematic motifs—while using blue stickies to jot down initial design ideas inspired by the series. Additionally, I delved into supplementary materials like The Art of the Animated Series and Legacy books, which offered valuable insights into the creative process behind the show and further fueled my imagination.
