This exhibition explores the power of materiality and storytelling across varied practices, from layered collage and pyrography to public murals and socio-political reflection. Each artist engages deeply with history, ancestry, and place through the visceral surfaces of their materials and the cultural narratives embedded in their work. The show brings together art that moves between destruction and creation, between craft and commentary, and between personal memory and collective experience. Viewers are invited to witness transformation both in material and meaning, and to see how seemingly ordinary elements such as twine, sand, photographs, paint, and public space can carry profound symbolic weight. It positions art as a site of energy exchange where element and structure, tradition and innovation merge into new forms of insight. Ultimately, this is not just an exhibition of finished objects but a conversation in motion that asks us to consider how we are shaped by, and in turn shape, the material and cultural forces that surround us.
