title
Hanahaki
In the project, I investigated the condition of a person facing unrequited love through Hanahaki disease. Hanahaki is a mythical human disease from unrequited love, in which flowers bloom inside the lungs and heart. First, the patient coughs off individual petals, and then comes a painful bloody cough with flowers. Eventually, plants begin to grow from the skin. If unrequited love remains, the flowers inside the lovelorn kill him, turning this person into a beautiful flower bed.
In the project, I wanted to show the progression of Hanahaki disease. The first mild symptoms grow and are replaced by obsession and awareness of imminent death.
