EXPERIENCING PERIODS
Can you qualify your emotions and articulate exactly what you are experiencing? How can you live a better life by increasing your perceptual abilities? This project aims to answer these questions by addressing menstruation through somaesthetic design. The outcome of this experience consists of two steps; the first is to observe the mind-body state in a special domed space, the second is to articulate experience through reflection. I have designed spaces that aid menstruating women observe their inward experience through some deformable and soft objects with a voice guide, thus helping them deal with the stress of body suffering. When the body touches those soft objects, the contact area heats up.
