A Manta, individual exhibition

2023

The core objective of this thesis was to raise awareness among the general public about dementia and dispel misconceptions surrounding the condition, with the ultimate goal of preventing or delaying the onset of dementia cases.

The utilization of metaphor was employed to craft narratives that introduce novel perspectives. Metaphor facilitates the comprehension of unfamiliar issues by likening them to familiar scenarios, thereby enabling the exploration of problems from unconventional angles.

In the practical aspect of the thesis, a collaborative approach was pursued to empower individuals affected by dementia. Through the organization of tapestry workshops across various institutions involving participants with dementia, a tangible artifact was developed based on the outcomes of these workshops.

The culmination of this effort was an exhibition showcasing the co-created piece, aimed at destigmatizing dementia and fostering awareness among the broader public.
