This reflective floral workshop responds to the emotionally charged work on view with an embodied, creative practice. Participants will create a small compote-style arrangement that explores tension, displacement, and rootedness – using space and subtle structural elements to express connection and separation within the floral form.
The session begins with 30 minutes in the gallery, followed by a guided meditation and facilitated reflection on grief, witnessing, and the complexities of belonging. The program concludes with hands-on floral design, offering space to translate reflection into material form.
All experience levels are welcome.
