    A CREATIVE ODYSSEY TO HEALING AND SELF DISCOVERY
    (International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR), 2023-10) Purohit, Aarushi
    In a world where stress and mental health concerns are prevalent, the practice of art therapy has emerged as a powerful means of healing and self-discovery. This article explores the transformative potential of art therapy as a form of psychotherapy that employs creative expression to address emotional struggles and promote well-being. Unlike traditional talk therapy, art therapy allows individuals to communicate through visual art, providing a safe space to explore complex emotions and inner conflicts. Through artistic creation, individuals delve into their subconscious, guided by trained art therapists who interpret the symbolism within the artwork. Research highlights its therapeutic impact, reducing stress, enhancing emotional resilience, and fostering empowerment. Art therapy is practiced in diverse settings, benefiting populations from children with developmental disabilities to trauma survivors. It serves as a tool for personal growth and self-exploration, contributing to mindfulness and relaxation. As the importance of mental health gains global recognition, art therapy is expected to integrate more comprehensively into mainstream treatments, offering profound hope in navigating the complexities of the human experience. Art therapy underscores the enduring power of creativity and self-expression, providing a dynamic platform for healing and personal growth.

    Morphological Structure of Ramie for Acoustic
    (Journal of The Textile Association, 2023-07) Purohit, Aarushi
    Ramie a flowering plant in the nettle family Urticaceae, is considered as minor cellulosic fiber. Having beautiful brown colour, lustrous and good strength, these fibers are used for clothing since ages. As the extraction process is tedious and quality may differ depending upon the maturity, there are limitation in products. With the enzyme treatment the fibers were soften and changes in the structure will increase the commercial value of these fibers by using it for technical textile product. To identify the potentiality of the fibers for sound absorbing materials further an assessment was carried out to know structural changes by analysing both the untreated and treated fibers using various ASTM test methods – Bundle strength, SEM, FTIR, XRD and EDS. On comparing the results with previous studies, it was observed that the fibers are more aligned and porous which is needed for developing sound absorbing samples. Thus, these fibers were taken further to spinning and fabric manufacturing levels for the development of woven sound absorbing materials.
