DreamDrift is an award nominated interactive illustration for children aged 6 to 9 years. The goal for the project is to make children feel safe and calm through my illustration in a playful and accessible way. The theme of the illustration is hugs, friends, dreaming and fantasy. By asking the child stimulating, non-confrontational and open-ended questions within the interactive experience, I hope that children can relax in their own mind independently.
Welcome!
About the theme, and why art can be a cure!
Since Dream Drift has quite a complicated and nuanced goal it has been important to get in contact with relevant professionals. Thanks to the feedback of a licensed children's therapist Dream Drift got a step closer to being a project that can reassure and calm a child by recognising having an imaginary friend as a form of emotional regulation. There are many other avenues of emotional regulation left to explore in interactive art projects like this!
