Initially, the concept behind the blanket was to design an interactive piece that would hug the audience using 'soft robotics' technology. While the idea evolved over time, the fundamental notion of promoting self-compassion and self-care has remained unchanged. | |||
'''Description''' | |||
Coming back to the soft spot of my heart, embracing my broken soul, finding my inner peace, and reconnecting to the random parts that I love and hate about myself. After a long period of self-destruction, now it’s time to give myself a big, tight hug for as long as I need. | Coming back to the soft spot of my heart, embracing my broken soul, finding my inner peace, and reconnecting to the random parts that I love and hate about myself.

This personal message is conveyed through an interactive blanket installation that allows visitors to sit in the middle and experience a hug from the blanket. When you are not at your strongest spot, being passive is not a sign of weakness but instead, acceptance. Let’s allow ourselves to be an object for a bit, deconstruct our perception and let an object like a blanket gives us a warm hug. | This personal message is conveyed through an interactive blanket installation that allows visitors to sit in the middle and experience a hug from the blanket.

''_________ (the blank_et)'' is a piece of skin-like material large enough to enfold most of one's feelings, to embrace the fragility, and thick enough to keep the heart warm by trapping kindness, compassion, and self-forgiveness that otherwise the warmth would be lost through the winter of life. | |||
