What does photography mean to you?
A snapshot of time, a memory suspended, a story untold?
In “Tangible Memories,” we invite you to go beyond the image, to touch the essence of moments captured yet longing to breathe.
In this workshop, a photograph becomes more than an image—it becomes a canvas for emotion. With guided drawing, we layer thoughts, colors, and lines onto the stillness, bringing to life the feelings that filled each frame. Your hand will trace memories that words can’t reach, blending the present with the past and transforming the familiar into something deeply personal.
