An Interactive Box for Reflecting on One’s Own Death
Death concerns us all, yet in our society, it is often denied, silenced, or treated as taboo. With my project, I created an interactive box that offers a safe space for personal reflection. It invites people to consciously face their own mortality — not as something frightening but as an impulse for a more self-determined and mindful life. The box makes death visible and speakable as a natural part of life. It encourages honest self-reflection without overwhelming: complex emotional content is communicated gently and accessibly to reduce fear and open new perspectives. Users can engage with questions of transience at their own pace and without judgment. My goal is not just to reflect on dying, but on life itself.
