BeyondTheShore

My final thesis concerns my life project BeyondTheShore and my activity in this project, which is characterized by cooperation, organization, DIY, interior design, web design, painting, craftsmanship, and over time also cultural organization and curation. Therefore, in my work, I decided to go through several components of the whole project that I am responsible for, and thus stand in the role of an artist in the creation of a new place, which has the ambition to change the approach to people diagnosed with mental illness. At the same time, I focused on the space of one particular room, whose arrangement I consider my author’s work, just like the way of transferring this space to the school space for defense, which will result in another site-specific installation.
