ARTiFAB PROJECT

I collaborated with the ARTiFAB project as a workshop artist, where I developed and led a creative workshop titled Pieces of Safe. This workshop combines traditional art practices with digital fabrication tools, inviting participants to reflect on the personal meaning of safety and transform their thoughts and emotions into layered visual compositions. My role included designing the workshop concept and structure, guiding participants through brainstorming and sketching processes, and offering artistic and technical support in composition, color mixing, and material use. I supported them in translating their ideas into symbolic, abstract, or figurative forms and in integrating hand-painting techniques with laser-cut elements to create meaningful, tangible artworks within a safe and encouraging creative environment.
