Background
This project explores a playful and visual way of self-reflection for those in a close relationship with a person with mental illness.

A mirror for self-reflection

Through interviews and design experiments, the designer has developed a tool for reflection – a mirror. Relatives can use the mirror to reflect on their own emotional life. The ability to play, imagine and create is deeply connected to our mental well-being. From this starting point the designer seeks to contribute with a unique point of view different from a psychologist or a counselor.
