My collection, Shape Play, is about exploring psychiatric healthcare spaces and how textiles can be used to improve these spaces. From my experiences, majority of psychiatric healthcare spaces (e.g., therapy waiting rooms and session rooms) are sterile and cold, not considering the needs of the users in these spaces.
The Bauhaus movement is what modernized our healthcare spaces to the contemporary complexes we know today but missed out on incorporating the colour and excitement that came with the movement. I took inspiration from the geometric shapes of the movement and aimed to create vivid designs that would inject colour into drab psychiatric spaces.
