Elise Interview notes and sketch
After the interview with Elise, her depression content mainly revolved around drug control, because she immediately sought medical attention when she found out that she seemed to be unable to control her emotions. She also mentioned that she believes that the company of people around her is very important for patients with depression.
​
As long as she feels the company of people around her, she can support her to face depression and defeat depression. So I designed to put two test tubes in one, one tube contains real colored pills, and the other tube contains fake colored capsules with words of encouragement written on it, and some colored pills will be placed in this grid locker. So that participants who come to experience can take it freely, so as to spread support and encouragement.
​
​
Another thing that accompanied her through her depression was alcohol. She drank alcohol almost every day when she was in depression. She felt that alcohol could bring her physical hypnosis. Because of depression, she suffers from insomnia every day, sometimes she can't fall asleep even after taking medicine, and she keeps thinking of things in her mind. So I designed the second grid locker, mainly using some collected beer cans as the main material to make some three-dimensional sculptures.
​
The third grid locker is designed with a resin sculpture with at least two levels. Some natural colored shells are enclosed in the middle, and a dark colored shell is enclosed. In addition, the light belt will also be considered.

Anthony Interview notes and sketch
After interviews with Anthony, I learned that he is still suffering from depression from time to time. Due to his family problems, his growing environment, etc., he suffered from depression at a very young age, and was taken to see a psychologist after an attempted suicide. But in order to be a sensible child, he will pretend that he is happy. Gradually everyone feels that he is very happy and no longer suffers from depression.
​
​
Anthony said that he was looking at himself in the mirror with a binoculars. It seemed that he was very close but couldn't touch him. He wanted to save and comfort himself, but he could only stand by and watch. So I plan to use some materials for making telescopes as the main materials in a grid locker so that participants can experience the world that Anthony tells.
​
​
In addition, Anthony has been practicing what other people expect of himself, and he feels that he needs to do what others think he should. It's like a happy mood. Others think he should be happy. Even if he is really unhappy, he will pretend to be happy. Anthony gave me the feeling that he has been pursuing the A-level him in the eyes of others, so I plan to make an "A" plaster statue with a villain, and the villain is just curled up. He has been helplessly hiding in this "A" Below the word.
​
​
The theme of the last grid locker belonging to Anthony's locker is the white world, because Anthony believes that the world of depression is nothing but white and nothing. He thinks that other people say that depression is black, but in his opinion it is white, because black is unknown to him, which is the possibility of exploring again. Only in the white world, he can clearly see everything, but there is nothing, an empty white space.
Vanessa locker's sketch
My depression was mainly due to family factors when I was young. My mother treated me very harshly, and I often couldn't see my father. Although my father loved me every time he saw me, for a long time, I felt that I was not loved when my father was away. I didn't understand why I lived in this world, so I tried to commit suicide when I was a child. But when my family found out that I had committed suicide, I would be beaten, and I kept crying, but I didn't know how to express it.
​
When I grow up, in addition to family factors, there is also academic pressure. And my father passed away when I was 11 years old. I instantly seemed to have lost the only person in the world who loved me, so I started to commit suicide again. I wanted to leave this world with my father. Until my mother constantly changed the way she treated me, expressed her love to me, told me in her own way that she loved me very much, and when I understood her love, I was gradually led by my mother towards a healthy mentality, successfully get rid of depression. So in one of my grid locker, I plan to make a plaster hand sculpture with my mother using an inverted mold.
In addition, my other locker will write the suicide note written in my dream, in that dream I have suicide.
​
The last grid locker will be a sculpture made with glass inlay, which symbolizes my feelings in depression. It is constant reincarnation, constant questioning, constant answering, but always trapped in it.
Unlock Logo's sketch
I conceived a number of different logo styles for this work, and finally chose a style to continue to develop. The style I chose in the end is more digital, but cute. The letter "U" designed in this way is like a smiling face. No matter how sad the depression is, we will try our best to squeeze out a smile to tell others that we can survive depression, and at the same time tell ourselves and encourage ourselves.
I hope that in the end we can all laugh heartily, instead of forcing a smile, but really laugh out of happiness, making depression impossible.
​
In the end, I hesitated for a while among the following three styles, and finally chose the version with the same height for each font, but not elongated. The following are three versions of the pictures, the largest logo picture is the final logo.
