OBJECT STATEMENT
Bean's Sentence:"A fuzzy rug that looks like anger when you argue with it."
Ari's Sentence: "A Pillow that screams when you touch it"
The goal of this project was to teach little kids empathy by expressing that everything feels pain.
We interpreted anger as punching because punching is a physical action that you commonly associate with anger and got our revised sentence:
Revised Sentence: "This pillow screams when you punch it".

The Backpfeifengesicht was a project Bean Armstrong and I worked on during our making sense of design studio. The goal of this studio was the understand the fundamental principles of design by applying them to our own projects.
Both Bean and I got two randomized sentences as a prompt to base our projects on. We were paired together as we both had similar prompts and worked well together.
Our final project for the studio, dubbed the Backpfeifengesicht (german) was a pillow that screams when you press it. Our intention was to teach little kids empathy through the fact that everyone feels pain.
