Self-healing

Over the last few years, I have gone through a lot of difficult IVF treatments. During the independent project in the third year, I dealt with the associated pain and suffering. This year, I decided to take this pain toward self-healing and create a positive project. I planned and built objects and useful accessories that are part of the furniture and the interior design. I started designing my space – the meditation room – as a design tool in which I developed the furniture details and accessories. I created design solutions that give me spiritual reinforcements and allow me to feel positive emotions. My source of inspiration and research comes from Arabic calligraphy, Islamic geometric patterns, and Sufism. I combined the world of interior design with the world of accessories and jewelry, both of which allow us visual and functional use, and created a system of shelves housing a bag within and a light fixture with embedded jewelry. Materials | MDF, PLA, nylon, brass, leather, primer and paints. Working techniques | laser cutting, 3D printing, burning, FDM SLS and resin.
