the affirmation station

@abram_ramal / website

"I want people to enter this space and breathe into their own truth, to reprogram themselves from the inside, to become who they are so they can share their gifts with the world. Because your unique expression is needed. We are needed, and all of us deserve love and respect. If you are not giving that to yourself or others today, this is an opportunity to start." - Abram Katz

The Affirmation Station is a constructed 7' cell phone that originated from the concept of a physical space for people to enter into and reprogram negative self-imaging and the hurtful messages that often exist today in our smart devices. The exterior of this installation is designed to catch peoples’ eye and invite curiosity and play while offering surface-level self-reflections in the form of “notifications.” The interior is designed to invoke a collective conversation around our intrinsic value: the unique and unwavering spirit that exists within all of us regardless of what anyone else says thinks, or does [consciously or unconsciously].

This installation will be on display in the courtyard area of the Tannery Art studios from November First Friday through April 2023. Working in partnership with @ideafablabs @paintingbybianco @samanthaframesitup, Abram will be in attendance during the First Friday events.
