Concept

The project "Reforming the Space" utilizes contemporary three-dimensional art to showcase the artistic vision of reforms in the surrounding space. It goes beyond just the physical territory of the city and delves into the metaphysical and personal space, as well as the space between humans and nature, and humans and the universe. Through their artwork, the artists involved in the project examine how political, geopolitical, cultural, and social changes impact global dynamics. They explore the interplay between these factors and the transformations that occur in the space around us. The project serves as a platform to reflect on the effects of reforms and the evolving relationship between humans and their environment.
