Summary/Abstract: Artification occupies a specific place between art and non-art and is determined by giving a subjectively aesthetic meaning to the objects that previously had no such properties. We refer here explicitly to the studies and findings of Ellen Dissanayake and Ossi Naukkarinen. The study aimed to focus on the potential of artification at the end of one’s life, exemplified by reports of the qualitative study conducted in one of the hospices in Katowice, Poland. The psychological flexibility categories, extracted from artification activities, were used in this research.
