SO, WHAT IS REST PENDING?
REST PENDING is a first-person interactive web experience exploring the relationship between rest, productivity and self-worth.
Through three characters, users navigate everyday situations, make choices and experience how something as simple as taking a break can become unexpectedly difficult.
Three characters. Three different problems. Same old question: When is enough actually enough

THE PERSON BEHIND ALL THIS.

“REST PENDING grew from my research into rest, control and the expectations we place on ourselves. Rather than simply telling people why rest matters, I wanted to create something they could experience, laugh at and perhaps recognise themselves in.”

这一切背后的那个人。
“REST PENDING”这一项目，源于我对“休息”、“掌控”以及我们对自己所寄予的期望所进行的研究。我不想仅仅向人们阐述休息为何重要，而是希望创造出某种体验——人们可以在其中有所感悟、会心一笑，甚至或许能从中看到自己的影子。

MEET THOSE PEOPLE
1.
THE ACHIEVER
Winning is great. Until there's something else to win. Always chasing the next achievement, even when success is already within reach.
2.
THE RELIABLE ONE
Everyone needs a hand. Unfortunately, he only has two.
Always helping others, even when it means putting his own needs last.
3.
THE SELF-MANAGER
Self-employed. Self-motivated. Self-sabotaged.
Free to manage his own time, yet somehow always finding another reason to keep working.
<Different pressures. Same struggle>
