Inspired by the fractured visual language of Tyeb Mehta, this workshop explores how form can be broken, reassembled, and transformed to create new visual narratives. Drawing from Mehta’s approach to fragmentation and structural intensity, the session invites participants to think of the image not as fixed, but as something that can shift, evolve, and hold multiple meanings.

Focusing on the relationship between memory, material, and form, participants will engage with how incomplete or disrupted structures can carry emotional and visual weight. The workshop highlights how fragmentation can become a tool for storytelling, where absence, rupture, and reconfiguration open up new ways of seeing and understanding an image.

Working beyond the flat surface, the session encourages an exploration of how materials interact, overlap, and come together to form layered compositions. Through this approach, participants will reflect on how balance, contrast, and transformation can emerge through processes of breaking and rebuilding.

Designed for children and adults, the workshop offers an experimental space to engage with form as something fluid and evolving, where meaning is constructed through change, material, and perception.
