My meditation lamp is a project inspired by the fairycore aesthetic! An aesthetic defined by whimsy, nature, folklore, old storybook illustrations and children’s media.
My lamp is meant to represent both the fun, playful side of the aesthetic and the calming aspect that nature has.
The frame has inlaid LEDs timed to the box breathing method. It’s a de-stressing technique that includes inhale, hold, exhale, and hold again, each for four seconds. The method is used to take us out of fight or flight and activate the parasympathetic nervous system (WebMD). I thought this was a really fitting project to present at the expo since a lot of us are probably stressed and haven’t taken a moment to ourselves in a while.
