Sof is a concept project inspired by the designer's journey with uterine fibroids, the frustration of being handed the same generalized brochure after a doctor's visit, meeting women in similar positions who have waited too long to get treated. While not dangerous, ignoring the symptoms can lead to complications. The design provides possible solutions such as creating a sense of urgency, giving patients personalized information, and a support system.

The design links traditional Chinese philosophy with modern seal text design. The aim is to question how people move from real life to virtual life and how balance can be kept.
