Where is the terminus of handicraft?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Traditionally, the Krakow nativity scene is an object depicting a Christmas scene surrounded by fanciful architecture inspired by Krakow. Buildings and their elements are decomposed, processed and reassembled into a new, multicolored whole.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In original approach to creating a Krakow nativity scene, discovers new possibilities for interpreting cultural heritage in a contemporary context. The nativity scene, although it uses classic motifs and forms, presents itself in an innovative, contemporary version.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks to parametric modeling and 3D printing technologies, each element \u2013 f<\/span>rom ornaments to domes \u2013 has been precisely designed and printed. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The problem that my work addresses is how to maintain the authenticity of local traditions by introducing modern and innovative elements into them. The result is a unique item that constitutes a bridge between tradition and modernity, while maintaining high symbolic and aesthetic values.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n
