– Casa Wabi 2024
Community Project
Using different drawing and writing techniques, the participants of the “Transmutations” project created a personal diary of events that were important in their personal biography. These documents were recycled “as a metaphor of life”, to create new paper and write on it again. Working with intuition, the objective was to transform unprocessed emotions through art.
