SoulGate {Public Art}
Reflection between the analog experience of writing your ”sins” - like a confession in many religions.
But with a privacy only offered by a piece of paper and and anonymity by a public place (when sins are mixed with all other sins).
Its purpose is to aid in a “religious” experience via a not so private / public tactile process.

"DumpsterDive" Toy
Where the toy is merely a tool to exploit kids senses when touching, machinating, exploring, analyzing object analogies that makes the user be resourceful, because they need to use whatever objects they would have found in the "DumpsterDive Toy" to create one solid object.
A useful sill that in the world outside this game, is a survival tool for many, since the objects are often considered just trash.
This is and which idea was presented to Mattel in 2006. And this included a 3-D animation of how the toy would resemble when in a normal setting.
