Adolescence is a complex developmental stage marked by identity exploration and intense emotional changes. Teenagers often struggle to express their feelings openly, both to others and to themselves. This difficulty is exacerbated by cultural factors, lack of emotional education, and the stigma surrounding mental health, which prevent adolescents from finding a safe space to express themselves. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of the empty chair technique in building intrapersonal communication and creating a safe space for adolescent self-expression. The research method used is qualitative descriptive through a literature review. The results show that the empty chair technique from Gestalt therapy is effective in helping adolescents express inner conflicts, increase self-awareness, emotional regulation, and self-esteem, particularly among victims of bullying. This technique allows adolescents to engage in symbolic dialogue with parts of themselves in a reflective and therapeutic manner. The implications of this research suggest that the empty chair technique can be a strategic approach in school and community counseling to support the holistic psychosocial development of adolescents.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami bagaimana masyarakat terlibat dengan seni di era selfie, perangkat digital, dan media sosial. Ini mengkaji pengalaman penonton pameran seni, di mana pengunjung didorong untuk menggunakan media sosial untuk berbagi pengalaman seni mereka, untuk memahami bagaimana pendekatan semacam itu dapat mengubah sifat keterlibatan pengunjung dengan seni. Bisa dibilang, selfie yang diambil di ruang seni memperkaya pengalaman dan keterlibatan pengunjung dengan seni dan berfungsi sebagai alat pemasaran bersama, memberdayakan, dan otentik untuk museum. Data untuk penelitian ini dikumpulkan melalui observasi non partisipan (etnografi) dan netnografi di Museum Lawang Sewu Semarang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa alih-alih mempromosikan pelepasan dari karya seni, selfie di ruang seni menjadi "keterikatan materi - diskursif jaringan" yang memberdayakan konsumen seni untuk bersama-sama menciptakan nilai dan organisasi seni untuk mengurangi jarak antar konsumen dan mereproduksi keaslian ikonik dari karya seni. karya seni di ruang maya.
