In my project, I examine happiness from both a personal and scientifc perspective. Through self-
experimentation, I observed and documented my everyday life and then classifed it using theoretical 
models. I used a journal and a disposable camera as tools. The starting point for my work was the loss 
of my mother, which led me to fundamentally question my own relationship with happiness. I wanted to 
fnd out how happiness can be regained after such an experience and what factors infuence it. The cen-
tral challenge was to translate this intimate question into a design that remains both sensitive and com-
prehensible. The topic is emotional, but at the same time complex — and I wanted to make both visible. 
In the design process, I learned that personal experience and graphic analysis are not mutually 
exclusive, but can reinforce each other. This project therefore means a lot to me: It not only makes 
happiness visible, but also aims to motivate people to experience a little more happiness in their 
everyday lives.
