Empatia

Empatia is a three part tower designed to help individuals empathise with conflicting situation, through three lenses:

1. As you lived it
2. As the other person lived it
3. From the perspective of an observing third party.

Each perspective is symbolised by the design of a physical block:

• Straight lines (You)
• Curved lines (the Other)
• An all seeing eye (Third Party).

Once put togther, Empatia forms a tower of four humans symbolising unity.

In 2016, during 3DPD2, a class taught by Sinclair Scott Smith, Oscar was challenged to create an artifact from the year 2050 that directly answered to his thesis: Marrying the physical and the emotional to process trauma.

To answer this, Oscar created Empatia: a three part tower designed to teach individuals how to empathise wi

1. As you lived it
2. As the other person lived it
3. From the perspective of an observing third party.

These blocks are envisioned to be available in the year 2050, with a technology that alters your brain patterns as you hold a piece to lock your brain into thinking in the form of that lens.

Once all lenses have been considered, the tower is completed forming a visual of four human beings, that suggest a strong bond in society.
