Silent echoes of ironworks' power

Students' responses to the space are not merely visual – they are also felt, grounded in the historical and material context of Jesenice, a town shaped by the ironworks industry. The glowing color shades that appear on the surfaces or structures of the textiles evoke the once-colored facades of houses – a quiet echo of the ironworks' power that shaped the landscape.
