During the interim period of January to Feburary 2024, I had the opportunity to engage with the concept of Snoezelen. The Snoezelen concept originates from Scandinavia and is understood as a therapeutic space that allows people to consciously perceive their senses and relax in a selected, protected atmosphere.

Starting from the idea of how to activate the senses individually, I decided to build a prototype of a touchwall. This was followed by further sketches and considerations for potential Snoezelen rooms. Unfortunately, these ideas remained theoretical due to the lack of material resources needed to outfit an entire room. However, I was able to organize a workshop with care staff from a nearby retirement center, where we had a stimulating afternoon of exchange and laid plans for potential collaboration in the future.
