Time and Tension Box 

The time between two worlds

The Time and Tension box is a tool that represents the past ice age version of earth and a future apocalyptic version of earth. By using sand a fan can move and cover a world to show the other world. Research says that sand can be therapeutic and help reduce anxiety and stress. The box was made to help reduce stress in any user and help the user relax. The box is small so it can be placed in many different places. 


The box is labeled for teens and young adults. Research says that that demographic has the highest stress and anxiety levels. For example, if a teenager is super stressed from school and wants to relax and let go. They could use the box to relieve their stress and calm down. To turn on the box there is a switch. You turn it on and it automatically turns on a fan. That fan pushes all the sand to one side and covers one world. Then the fan will turn off. The other fan will turn on and push all the sand onto the other world. This happens over and over again.
