Mortality & Me

“ Mortality & Me” is a thoughtfully designed toolkit that helps people process death anxiety through touch, mindfulness, and gentle ritual—not by avoiding the fear, but by learning to sit with it. It is intended for anyone struggling with thanatophobia who wants tangible, sensory tools beyond traditional talk therapy approaches. This project opens new pathways for design to address our deepest human fears, creating space where mortality becomes something we can engage with rather than just endure—transforming how we collectively relate to being human.
