(Invisible) Puzzle
A tactile puzzle that has to be solved through touch rather than sight.
A puzzle that has to be solved through touch rather than sight, challenging our assumptions about how jigsaw puzzles are typically experienced, and who they are made for.
Designed in collaboration with Amanda Yip, a visually-impaired artist and co-founder of Rebirth Ensemble, an accessible fine arts consultancy in Singapore, the work reimagines her artwork as an immersive tactile puzzle, expanding how we experience and interpret visual art.

A PUZZLE DESIGNED FOR AMANDA
Jigsaw puzzles are always designed for people who can see. And it led me to wonder – what if we designed them differently to be played with our other senses? Working with Amanda, a visually-impaired artist, I translated one of her artworks into a tactile puzzle - one that could be explored through textures and surfaces.
