Destruction provides an opportunity for a new intervention; the unpredictable outcomes of it make foreseeing the subsequent results challenging, as each action begets the next, leading to the emergence of a new situation dependent on the destruction of another. The workshop ultimately intends to explore new spatialities on paper and imagine new spatial becomings by bewildering, altering and distorting the reality—in essence, utilizing unconventional approaches. Objects brought by participants are being fragmented using tools such as hammers, saws, and scissors, altering their internal relationships. Accumulating on a plane, disjointed fragments and traces of destruction begin to establish randomized and complex relationships with each other. This plane becomes a field for imagination. The mind, activated by the chaos that emerges after destruction, engages in envisioning new spatial formations. Chaos here signifies the signs for the divination that will unfold the interpretation of a space; however, it is not yet a "space." The hand, seeking the space through time and motion, becomes the one that turns these signs into a space by reading them through drawing.
