Amidst current isolating mental health infrastructures, the project takes inspiration from ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) and the material properties of kinetic sand to introduce a design methodology. The project does not aim to offer a permanent solution to mental distress, but to explore the potential of spatial experiences in providing mediation between one’s inner emotions with the outer world.

How can we push the boundaries of our perception and senses to expand our ability to feel and experience?
