The Sound of Glass by Bohyun Yoon is an interesting device which creates sound through the [relay of water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfect-cheers). The device is made from a single [piece of molded glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podio-cup) transformed into a hollow shape, giving it the ability to create different sounds.

There is also a spout on the Sound of Glass helmet with which its wearers can pour water into other helmets. The idea is to [create unique sounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-installation) using the water and spouts as a form of performance art.
