Monkey Mind

The aim of this project is for participants become self - aware of their current state of mind. It provides them with the tools to understand what they need to focus on and have a goal based meditation session.

​

Why? It is not about the time you meditate but the quality of meditation. Most children in India are familiarised with the concept of meditation at a young age in school; as a sustainable solution to increase focus without using technology. However, it is almost always met with resistance. It is seen as a superficial and forced activity. They are left with the question 'Why am I being made to do this?

 

​

How? 

​

1. The coloured plastic pieces can be fitted into the slots of the wooden block.

​

2. Players intuitively experiment with the forms, shapes and patterns and colours.

​

3. Upon reflecting on their creation, they need to spot the dominant or recurring colour. 

​

​

2.Black: Closure, restoring reality, focus.
