“Poetic Fighting” is an interactive installation of relational conflicts and arguments. . It’s made of two hand-knitted controllers with builtin force sensors, a projection screen linked to a TouchDesigner program. The harder the users squeeze the controllers, the lower the pitch the louder the sound, and the more distorted the head becomes. Twisting and bending, the oscillating waves of bumps and calluses on the head visualize the chaotic state of mind and raging voices echoing in one's head during confrontations. The cacophonic sound, generated by a Juno- 60 synthesizer, mimics the tone of screaming and yelling during verbal arguments. At the same time, the pressing motion on the soft, woollen controllers resembles clenching fists or squeezing on a stress ball.

Yoshe aspires to provide individuals with a platform to experience different types of confrontations and dissonance without the risk of damaging their real-life relationships. She reminds the users that the goal is not to win or prove one's point but to listen to distinct perspectives and build a shared understanding.
