COPING MECHANISMS
Coping with Mechanisms is an immersive art installation that addresses the recent rise of anxiety disorders among young adults and teenagers in the digital age. This project showcases the meditative potential of crochet and knitting as calming activities that counterbalance the negative effects of excessive screen time. Visitors are invited to reflect on their own mental well-being and explore alternative coping mechanisms, while listening to the hidden audio pieces inside the structure.
The installation creates a serene environment where individuals can engage in the meditative qualities of crochet and knitting, hereby countering triggers for anxiety. By raising awareness on the impact of anxiety disorders and promoting the benefits of mindful crafts, Coping with Mechanisms aims to inspire conversations and action to address this pressing issue. It emphasizes the importance of finding a balanced relationship with technology while prioritizing mental health. Through this project, I hope to empower individuals, particularly the younger generation, to seek healthier ways to navigate the digital landscape and promote holistic well-being.
