Project Statement
Allah said, “Verily with every difficulty, there is relief" (Surat Al-Inshirah)(Verse 5). What a beautiful verse, right? Women’s pregnancy is very tough and tiring ,but “Allah” does not forget his servants, he leads them through the Nine months of struggling and then gives them happiness and relief. The message is dedicated to women who believe that the pregnancy sequence is tough and painful, and to every women that fears pregnancy. I wrote this poetic statement to calm them down, by adding a verse from the Quran “Verily with every difficulty there is relief” (Surat Al-Inshirah, verse 5). To help those women understand that Allah makes the process easy, by letting women go through the 9 months of pregnancy gradually, meaning that after hard days, Happiness is always found.
Concept Statement
The most applicable way to help the targeted women, is by making them feel capsulated (represents feeling scared and worried), guided (represents feeling leaded, 9 months), feeling relieved (represents feeling happy and relieved). I want the targets to feel happy first by being in a big space. This makes them feel excited from the beginning to go through the process because, they would already know that at the end happiness is found. I then want them to feel capsulated for a very short time, to make them feel surprised that it is not really worth being this much worried. After leaving the capsulated area I want them to go through 9 different transitional spaces which gradually increase in length and width, and becoming brighter in lighting, to make them feel relaxed more and more by passing those 9 spaces, knowing that by every space it becomes more comfortable until they reach the end again (an exit), which is the largest place in a triangular shape (Feeling happy).
