One of the most meaningful projects Jolene had the opportunity to lead was "Tapestries of Grief: Witnessing through Art Therapy" in September 2021. This community art exhibition was conceptualized to support bereaved individuals and helping professionals who had experienced loss, especially during the pandemic, by creating "remembrance ball" artworks. The event saw over 450 artworks contributed by bereaved persons and helping professionals. This project stands as a testament to the power of art therapy in helping individuals cope with their grief and move towards emotional healing.
