This project explores care, silence, and neighbourly connection, focusing on the emotional labour of domestic caregiving. Rooted in personal and cultural experiences of inherited care, especially for ageing parents, I examine how care is often unseen, yet all consuming.

Using data storytelling, I translate caregiver narratives into digital-physical bouquets. Each flower visualises lived emotion, time, and responsibility. CarePop invites reflection, empathy, and everyday acts of connection through gesture and design. 

Final work

  • 4 glass vases with paper flower bouquets, inside are written stories of individual caregivers.
