HEALING

‘‘Healing is a holistic, transformative process of repair and recovery in mind, body, and spirit resulting in positive change, finding meaning, and movement towards self-realization of wholeness, regardless of the presence or absence of disease’’

The idea of my design proposal is mainly focuses on how I could consider Healing to help refugees heal from humanitarian crisis. In this project I am using Art therapy to help many people that went through humanitarian crisis.

How we use space to heal and how we use space to connect ?

Art therapy can help uncover and understand feelings and memories in a different way. This self-discovery is one reason therapy is such a crucial element. It can also improve self-esteem by providing clarity and purpose, while reducing stress.

When do we need healing? What are we trying to heal? Is healing a transition or a temporary state?

Mental scars

When we don’t feel particularly strong or resilient

Space could help refugees to feel like home, our surroundings really affect our feelings and emotions. This could improve their selfesteem

Temporary ? Immediate ? Permanent ?

As soon as we feel safe and comfortable in a specific place. Our emotions and feelings immediately change.
