The Art of Emotional Release
After my mother passed, the grief was raw—sharp, chaotic, and hard to hold. I didn’t want to suppress it or escape through pills. I needed to let it out, fully, intentionally.
That’s when I found emotional release techniques—ecological ones. I learned to scream into pillows, punch with full force, cry without shame. Not to lose control, but to maximize the feeling—to move it through, not bury it deeper. And for the first time, something shifted. The weight didn’t vanish, but it softened.
That experience stayed with me.
Later, the idea came: what if the objects we surround ourselves with could hold space for our emotions? That’s how my cushion collection began.
Each piece carries a message.
“Punch me” is bold and jagged, built for release.
“Napflix” whispers softness, inviting rest.
“Scream here” is messy, wild—an invitation to unload.
“Financial cushion” offers warmth, the visual shape of safety.
These aren’t just pillows. They’re emotional tools—handmade, intentional, and earth-conscious. Designed to hold space, catch your breath, and remind you: it’s okay to feel, and powerful to release.
Each piece was designed with intention. It’s not just about the words, but the texture, the colors, the feeling of it all. I wanted to help others do what I did—work through their emotions, not hide them away. And I wanted to do it in a way that’s mindful of our planet.
These cushions aren’t just art. They’re tools, reminders that it’s okay to feel. It’s okay to release. And you don’t have to do it alone.
The pillows are available here 👉 PILLOWS 👈
