Mosaic of Memories is an installation designed to visualize the essence of human connection. Created within 24 hours as part of a team-building course at CIID, the team was challenged to design an interactive experience that reflected their feelings since arriving in Italy.
The installation featured 3D-printed artifacts, each representing moments of kindness where connections with strangers were formed as newcomers to Bergamo. Visitors were invited to hold these objects and read brief stories about how these moments brought people together. When an artifact was placed on a scale, it triggered an interaction: two figurines symbolically “connected,” representing the impact of shared experiences.
The installation also encouraged reflection by allowing visitors to sculpt their own artifact out of playdough, write a short memory, and contribute it to the exhibit. This participatory element allowed the project to evolve over time, with new memories and artifacts being added by future visitors.
Mosaic of Memories encapsulated the transformative power of shared kindness, weaving individual experiences into a collective tapestry of community.
