ANANDA
PLAY THERAPY PUPPET
I created a play therapy puppet that helps children express how they feel internally (chest pains, breathing difficulties, heart attack symptoms, low energy, heart pounding, hyperventilation, sore muscles, etc), which will aid child therapists in identifying and treating anxiety in children.

SOAP TAPE WITH
DEAD SEA SALT
SOAP TAPE WITH DEAD SEA SALT
Majority of people believe that solid soap is less hygienic than liquid soap, that’s why they tend to use it less. Despite that fact, liquid soap is very polluting to the environment, has many chemicals including petrol. My survey has showed that most people choose to buy soap based on the smell, that’s why I’ve chosen to create a soap tape with two different scents.

CONCEPT
In this package, I’m trying to introduce solid soap in a different way, making it easier to carry around, for people who don’t want to use the soap available in public bathrooms. Also for travelers who have a hard time carrying soap with them.

HOME
HOME/WATAN
“Tens of thousands are pouring into Europe from war-torn areas in the Middle East and North Africa. For Syrian refugees, Germany is a favored destination. But how are they integrated here? and how are their lives like?” Starting this project I had many questions, I started speaking to various people I saw on the train, in the supermarket, anywhere really. Speaking to friends’ of friends. In this book, I try to draw a clearer image of what I have seen.
