Contextual Statement
Loneliness effects 1 in 3 Australians and results in alcoholism, Alzheimers, premature death and other health problems.

Design Intent
The design intent is to investigate the phenomena of transient loneliness by designing a physical experience to enable people to connect with each other and reflect on the experience with the opportunity to connect in the future. 

Research
Interviews were conducted with the target audience to determine the validity of the design as well as an Interpretative Creative Director, 
Mental Health Professional and primary stakeholders.

Outcome
I secured a studio space at Griffith University Southbank Campus to stage the experience as proof of concept.
