^{Mood Elixir Lab is a sensory workshop inspired by Inside Cake. While the earlier project explored emotion through touch, this one uses taste as a way to help people reflect on how they feel. I wanted to explore whether choosing and combining flavors could become a playful way to understand emotional needs.

Each ingredient represents a symbolic quality, like clarity, warmth, or romance. Participants read a menu and record their choices on a personal recipe card, then create their own “emotional elixir” by selecting a base and an accents layer. After tasting, each person takes a Polaroid photo as a keepsake, completing the full journey from selection to reflection. The workshop received highly positive feedback and was awarded “Best Workshop” in a professional showcase.}
