In this workshop, inspired by Kıymet Daştan’s work in the exhibition Crystal Clear, “I Am Afraid To (Not) Forget” derives from an experimentation with melting discs —archival devices that now are becoming obsolete— creating crystalline disfigurements, we create art with recyclables. The geometric shapes in the materials we select will serve to guide our new design. We view each recyclable as a puzzle piece, create our design through trial and error, and use our imagination as we learn about upcycling and improve our motor skills.
