The exhibition explores contrasting approaches to time, memory, and loss. It highlights the tension between meticulous craftsmanship and spontaneous creativity, reflecting the fragility of memory and the complexity of human experience. Through an open-ended process, the works invite reflection on the passage of time and the layers of personal and collective history.
