“In 2014 I was sitting in a doctors office asking for me. I was offered medication, when really I needed a hug. On average we have 11 seconds to explain how we feel before we are interrupted by a medical professional. And every day we struggle to understand the complex inner world of our thoughts and feelings – including how our emotions link to our bodies. Soul Paint offers a new way to understand ourselves and each other, going beyond language to find new avenues for expression and connection.”

Sarah Ticho, Co-Author of “Soul Paint”

SOUL PAINT exists at the nexus of immersive technology, creative storytelling and wellbeing to explore the richness of the embodied human experience. Participants are taken on a journey to explore and creatively express feelings of emotion and sensations in the body.

Through the process of bodymapping, 3D drawing and movement, they are invited to reveal their unique inner reality and then observe the creations of others. Using interactive technology in a genre-pushing way, this experience encourages new forms of embodied insight, allowing us to reflect on the diversity of human experience on an individual and global level.

Preservation Wishes

I hope people can continue to ask themselves where they are feeling. That it is the idea, not necessarily just the story that resides within us. And that there is a universe of unheard invisibile stories we can access – as long as we find the right way to ask.
