Thesis cover

Introspection – Self reflection, which is an exploration of interactive meditative experience.
The goal of my research is to communicate the intuitive and subjective nature of subtle and multisensory relationships that people have with everyday things.

In order to motivate and understand the self reflection from daily life, I designed unique interactive experiences by triggering human senses, playing with time and space and using metaphors. The three case studies prove how culture, memory and nature from daily life reflect human’s spiritual and emotional levels.
