Dear Disaster

Abstract: In the project a metaphor is used depicturing interpretations of a recovery process of overcoming fear and regaining trust in nature after a natural disaster. This is done in order to describe the investigation of a love - hate relationship towards design. The intention with the investigation is to discuss meanings of emotional exchanges in design and analyse relationships between the user and objects. The result is emerged from a therapeutic background of processing natural disasters as well as from an investigation of visual and tactile structures aimed to instinctively evoke curiosity and fascination.
