With the development of neuroscience and AI, the application of brainwave detection technology has expanded. Vegetative patients are unable to express their inner world for a long time, which causes communication barriers. We propose FMRI technology to convert their thoughts and dreams into text or images to help family members and medical teams.

Traditional Taiwanese funeral ceremonies serve not only as a mourning ritual for the deceased but also as a moment to comfort the family. Though they have simplified over time, removing complex rituals, their form remains unchanged. Flowers, symbolizing solemnity and beauty, remain essential, even if costly.
This project uses innovative interactive design to challenge the cultural taboo surrounding death in Chinese society, transforming the farewell into a warm, personalized reflection of life. Centered around symbolic flower seas and wreaths, it integrates lighting effects and modular design to create an immersive experience where mourning blends with memory. The project also incorporates eco-friendly floral arrangements to reduce fresh flower use, preserving both emotional connection and memory. Ultimately, it aims to create a farewell that honors the past while fostering deeper connections among participants.
