Project Goal:
To our group, spirituality means to be attuned to ourselves through reflection and self awareness. One way we can increase self awareness and understanding of self is through an increased ability to be able to verbalize our thoughts and emotions that we go through.
Emotional differentiation is one’s ability to accurately identify and distinguish one’s emotion. Often, many people are limited in labeling how they feel. For example, they oversimplify their complex emotions with mere, “I feel angry,” or “I am sad.” But the wider one’s vocabulary word bank and deeper one’s skill for understanding nuances of different emotions is, the more fluency and accuracy one has in being able to detect one’s emotion specifically.
We developed this product to explore ways we can not only distinguish between emotions, but also understand the nuance of it. We drew inspiration from Russian dolls to convey the concept of unveiling further nuances of underlying emotions.
