Echoes After the Last Breath

Project overview

Echoes After the Last Breath is a gamified virtual reality Near-Death Experience. Through irreversible gaze-based interactions, participants navigate floating “memory bubbles” within a liminal space between life and death. By transforming looking into action, the work invites reflection on life, reduces death anxiety, and cultivates empathy through an embodied immersive journey.
