As part of my PhD, I investigate how participatory stress-test environments - grounded in art and environmental psychology - can create experiential research formats that cut across roles and sectors within economically privileged, key stakeholder populations. Building on recent climate disasters, I design multisensory installations that stage climate disruption as an embodied, shared challenge. This approach allows me to study how stress, ritual, and cooperation can activate responsibility, support emotional processing, and spark adaptive imagination in contexts where conventional climate communication tends to remain abstract or ineffective.
