Empatia
Summary
Empatia is a three part tower designed to help individuals empathise with conflicting situation, through three lenses:
- As you lived it
- As the other person lived it
- From the perspective of an observing third party.
Each perspective is symbolised by the design of a physical block:
- Straight lines (You)
- Curved lines (the Other)
- An all seeing eye (Third Party).
Once put togther, Empatia forms a tower of four humans symbolising unity.

In 2016, during 3DPD2, a class taught by Sinclair Scott Smith, Oscar was challenged to create an artifact from the year 2050 that directly answered to his thesis: Marrying the physical and the emotional to process trauma.
To answer this, Oscar created Empatia: a three part tower designed to teach individuals how to empathise wi
- As you lived it
- As the other person lived it
- From the perspective of an observing third party.
These blocks are envisioned to be available in the year 2050, with a technology that alters your brain patterns as you hold a piece to lock your brain into thinking in the form of that lens.
Once all lenses have been considered, the tower is completed forming a visual of four human beings, that suggest a strong bond in society.
