A series of workshops run with 16-19 year olds, helping to communicate emotions nonverbally.

After a set of practical exercises exploring how colour, texture, form, materials, light, and a body posture can illustrate different emotions, each participant created an abstract wearable mini environment, using mostly recycled materials to convey an emotion personal to how they felt.

The final outcome was a set of portrait photographs, where the body gesture and the artwork became deeply personal yet anonymous representations of individual emotional states.
