This exhibition explores the space between our inner worlds and physical reality.

Through themes of uncertainty, disconnection, and the tension between fantasy and lived experience, the works invite viewers to question the versions of life they construct, both for themselves and for others.

The weight of an imagined yet unattainable existence permeates the pieces on display. Portals, paths, and stairways symbolize both hope and hesitation—offering the illusion of escape while keeping us tethered to the present. Darkness and heaviness press against moments of (sometimes false) intimacy, evoking the push and pull of longing for connection while retreating into solitude.

By stepping into this space, the audience is invited to navigate shifting planes of perception, confronting the ways in which we shape, distort, and ultimately reconcile our personal realities.
