Things for thought - A toolkit for belonging.

Through the universal language of touch, the toolkit ‘Things for Thought’ explores materiality and the act of understanding artefacts physically in order to connect with a sense of ourselves and others. A sense of belonging is a vital human need that is strongly linked to a person’s physical and mental wellbeing. Things for thought serves as a starting point for discussion and enables creative thinking by allowing users an opportunity to better understand their unique and shared experiences of the world and what it means to belong.

Things for Thought was a project created in collaboration with Good Health Design and Valance Smith. It is made up of hundreds of handmade, individually textured ceramic pieces that are created to spark memories and foster belonging through the act of storytelling.
