a project for swarovski. by exploring the various tactile qualities of the swarovski crystals, this project offers the blind and visually impaired a chance to experience elements which are usually associated with a strong visual input, by using braille script. it consists of three sub-projects:

• a description of the landscape outside is written on a window using colourful crystals and makes it possible even for the blind to 'look' through it.
• a line in a concrete wall which guides to a hidden message.
• a silk pillow brings 'dream' and 'reality' closer together while being wrapped around the neck.
