Green Your Mind: Visiting Nature within Steps from your Office

This thesis proposal for the exhibition title, Green Your Mind, explores the importance of reconnecting with nature to better the health and well-being of people. With the development of technology and urban living, our awareness and feelings for having a connection to nature has diminished. Nature has the ability to elicit a restorative response for humans, which allows an opportunity to reconnect with nature. The proposed exhibition will demonstrate how transformations can be prompted in the way we think about our environments and our relationships with the natural world. Bringing nature into cities will provide a healthier balance for societies. Visitors will have the opportunity to interact with natural elements by using many of their senses in order to experience the physical and psychological benefits from nature.
