Spanish design student Ariadna Sala Nadal has developed a series of mental health tools for survivors of child sexual abuse, to help make their emotions more tangible and thus easier to communicate.
Called Balisa, the kit includes 21 different modules of a unique colour, weight and texture, developed in collaboration with psychologists who specialise in the subject and their patients.
Each of these pieces represents a different emotion or step in the survivor s healing process, which they have dealt with in their therapy session.
Nadal made an early prototype of the project during coronavirus lockdown using only plasticine and nail polish
