Traces: The Grief Processor

'Traces: The Grief Processor' is a multiuser interactive VR experience that invites you to poetically explore your grief - whether from the loss of a loved one, a friendship, or even a dream.
Led by a ritualist and shaped by the creator’s personal journey, the experience unfolds within a dreamlike forest, where each step gently unveils a new facet of grief. In this space, grief is not something to overcome, but to acknowledge, express, and integrate into the fabric of life.
A playful yet profound documentary-based odyssey, 'Traces' guides its participants through the universal complexities of loss, helping them emerge with a renewed sense of hope and connection.
