glass box project


the glass box project was a participatory art installation created as part of anita nowak's social entrepreneurship and innovation course at mcgill. our goal was to integrate art and self-expression into the built environment to enhance community engagement and urban aesthetics. 

i collaborated with a team of five to design a freestanding glass wall mounted on a wood platform. we placed window markers beside it and invited anyone passing by to draw, write, respond, and reflect. the piece was installed across different parts of campus during innovation week at mcgill, in partnership with the mcgill spaces project.
