Beneath The Heartstrings
‘Beneath The Heartstrings’ derived from the fact that deep
within every mankind there’s an innate ability to be sensitive.
However, only about 15-20% of the human population are
highly sensitive. They are born with Highly Sensitive
Personality (HSP), a personality tied to high sensory-processing
sensitivity (SPS) trait. Due to this unique trait, they often
undergo different experiences as compared to others who are in
the same scenario and hence, get misunderstood very easily.
Thus, ‘Beneath The Heartstrings’ is a project that sheds light
on the trait in hopes that people will be more understanding of
HSPs (highly sensitive people) by letting them experience what
HSPs experience. Done through illustrations to dive deep into
HSPs inner world, experimental motion work to showcase a part of
what we experience internally, and a toolkit filled with cards
that aim to educate and help individuals understand HSP better.
