Description

Beyond Empathy is an interactive object at the intersection of art and design. It tackles one of the major obstacles during depression—misunderstanding of depression within interpersonal relationship with the closest social circle. Beyond empathy not only addresses the issue of raising empathy within the user of the object, but also navigates him or her into understanding of the concept of non-invasive help, where simple touch, listen or being present can make a difference for a depression sufferer.
