In the works in this exhibition, hearts, folds, organic forms, and shadows allude to both the body and the landscape

OPENING March 24th ar 6 to 8pm, Welcome!

In the works of this exhibition, the heart, folds, organic forms, and shadow-like elements refer to both the body and the landscape. Internal and external space coexist within the same image. The horizon is not a boundary but a breath—the point where the gaze lingers and something begins to move.
