In dense urban environments, international students often feel disconnected from nature, increasing stress and emotional strain in daily life. This project introduces a compact, multi sensory nature connection system designed for small living spaces, integrating moss landscapes, mist, and gentle sound or touch elements. Rather than recreating outdoor environments, the system supports personal rituals of care, offering small moments of calm that help restore balance, presence, and well being within everyday routines.

Development Process
“ I learned to think of nature not as a destination, but as something that could exist in fragments throughout the day. The project evolved as I shifted from solving stress to supporting daily rituals of care.”
