PATTERN OF THOUGHTS
Pattern of Thoughts is a social design project that explores the relation between memory and colors. I did this project in collaboration with YP Yuanpu Wang and residential care centre Het Schouw.
We hosted a series of workshops with the residents at Het Schouw and conducted research in color theories and psychology and personal accounts / oral history.
Based on the findings from the workshops we designed an interactive wall installation that documents and honors the memories of the residents. It consists of hand-colored ceramic tiles divided across categories of word prompts. The viewer can answer the prompts such as “mother” “my childhood home” by selecting a tile and placing it next to the prompt. The installation becomes a sharing wall where memories are collected, displayed and constantly changing.
