GROWING Exhibition
In 2022, a parallel class was developed in Communication Design at the University of Basel, Germany. Under the guidance of Professor Sandra Hoffman Robbiani, students explored aesthetic relationships and presentations of more than human beings.
Students, in collaboration with their faculty, explored the visual and sensorial qualities of local vegetation.
The exhibition was in a central location, and evolved over the duration of the semester, inspiring students and faculty around them.
