Culture & Context

The design “burning positivity” is centred around the idea of focusing on the positive aspects of life, even in the aftermath of a manic or depressive episode.

The design was developed through my exploration of the theme “descending chaos” and is intended to capture the experiences of overcoming negative emotions and finding a sense of control amidst chaos and uncertainty.

The design highlights the importance of maintaining a positive outlook even through difficult times.
