It is not difficult to find a phenomenon related to potatoes in everyday life: After peeling the potatoes, the irregular, polygonal potatoes always have some sediment on them because of the deposits on them, and there is also sediment on the hands, although the sediment on the potatoes disappears as soon as the water is rinsed off, but the hands will keep turning the potatoes and the sediment on them will reappear and need to be rinsed off, so People are constantly turning the potatoes and wiping them with their hands to clean them. Using interactive paint (Themochormic Pigment), this extremely small but very familiar detail of everyday life is transferred to an object that looks like a potato. You will notice that the mud on the potato disappears when you touch it with your hand, but reappears when it is washed with water.
