Breath Box
Breath Box is an interactive breathing companion created by Daria Dolmatova that turns a simple cube of light into a quiet ritual of attention.
A wireframe box floats in space, slowly rotating, its interior gradually filling with drifting particles as you click and hold the mouse to “breathe in.” The inhale is counted in five soft pulses; when you release, the particles begin to rise and thin, guiding you through a mirrored five‑pulse exhale and gentle pauses in between.
Instead of measuring your body with sensors or a microphone, the piece invites you to sync your own rhythm to its visual tempo. The cube becomes a container for breath: filling, holding, and emptying on a loop, accompanied by a low tone that swells and recedes with each cycle.
Breath Box is about giving your attention somewhere quiet to rest for a minute.
