I asked people two questions: What is a text message you received that made who happy and who sent it, a partner, a family member, or a friend? and What is a text message you received that hurt you deeply and who sent it, a partner, a family member, or a friend? From this information I made two comforting objects, one being a book full comforting messages with an aluminum covers and messages printed on handmade paper. The other is a shawl knitted with the messages based on the characters of the hurtful texts and color coded by who sent the message. Posters containing 3 hurtful message and 3 healing messages were displayed locally.
