Tree of Soul

The jacket's embroidery combines wearable electronics, drawing inspiration from the captivating "Tree of Souls" depicted in the movie Avatar. This artistic endeavor serves as a vehicle for raising awareness about mental health issues. The design strategically adorns the back of the jacket, allowing for an indirect message to be conveyed without the need for direct confrontation. This placement ensures that the wearer can express themselves freely without concern for prying eyes. Just as the Tree of Souls in Avatar represents a connection to the spiritual and emotional realms, this embroidered design symbolizes a silent yet powerful support for mental well-being. Through this fusion of technology and artistry, the jacket becomes more than just a garment—it becomes a statement piece, advocating for understanding and compassion towards those struggling with mental health challenges.
