Backstory/Motivation: Paton was arrested 3 times and experienced high manic attacks every 6 months and severe depression that he even wanted to end his life. When he got out of the jail he had graffiti therapy because of severe depression he couldn’t explain his situations to therapists verbally. The project is about using graffiti as a way to help patients and people with stress and other mind related problems. The person will be able to stand in front of a sensor machine. The person will paint by moving their arms back and forth in the air. He tried out this therapy and experienced positive results and he also wants to spread awareness regarding these type of therapies especially for those who are facing serious depression and panic attacks.

Frustrations: The major setback at the moment is that Paton has to go through these therapies once a week and being a businessman he travels more often and because of that he usually misses his therapy sessions and also the machine is not portable that could be carried out anywhere and results could be sent to the therapists through email etc.

Their ideal experience: Paton has noticed a major change in his behavior in a positive way and he is happy to take these sessions.
