Through interviews with individuals who have lost a loved one, memories have been shared and interpreted illustratively, then transformed into patterns that are sewn into quilted blankets. The project aims to offer a space for reflection, where the blanket can serve as a conversation piece. To challenge the traditional depressing and dark aesthetic of grief through a colorful and playful design. The project investigates how design can help make grief more visible and less stigmatized in society, particularly in a Western context where death is often considered a private or taboo subject. As part of the work, a website has also been developed where individuals can order their own memory blanket.
