Space for Grief – A Ritual of Release, Transformation and Interconnection
Space for grief is an immersive installation designed to support community connection through the expression of grief and compassion. Visitors enter a dim, contemplative room and are invited to hold and squeeze an object as a way of releasing emotion. Each squeeze becomes a glowing pulse that spreads like fungal life, branching into threads of light that seek out and connect with emotional traces left by others. When threads meet, they merge into a living network of shared experience, with each person’s energy forming a pulsing node within the collective.The installation transforms individual grief into a shared, embodied language – allowing the body to express what words often cannot.
