While communicating and sharing my topic with my classmates, one of them gave me the idea to look into patterns that could be healing. I immediately thought of combining this with light and started researching into the topic. I came across ”sacred geometry”, which is another way of healing people mentally.
Nevertheless, I was more interested in actual patterns that can be really healing or have a healing effect, rather than looking into something spiritual-based.
Subsequently, I came across for what I was looking for, which were examples of patterns that are calming to people. Specific colors in combination with patterns are able to have a relaxing effect. Often this can include patterns that repeat themselves that calm down the brain and can lead to lowering people’s anxiety and stress they have to deal with. Examples of relaxing images are for instance green nature, oceans, animals, or images with endless patterns, such as fractals that can be softening for oneself.
Additionally, I kept on coming across the color blue for having a calming effect on people and that round and curved objects are superior to edged forms.

This made me think of combining several of the above-mentioned points together such as round endless forms taken from nature and merging them with blue tones. Those could then also be turned into moving images on a projection and be shown as a video.
Those are just a few similar examples that could be played on the projection and could be created with artists specifically for people dealing with anxiety, depression, or insomnia. Finally, videos taken in real life and representing certain endless patterns could also be an option with potential.
