2025 Exhibition
Reflection of a Greater Realm
OPENS: October 10 | DEADLINE: November 15, 2025
Reflection of a Greater Realm
This exhibition invites viewers into a world of enchanted reverie where light and ornament become gateways towards expansive, imaginative experiences. The works in this collection transform the everyday into something luminous and extraordinary, offering passages into intimate, seemingly infinite visions.
Time slows as audiences move through the exhibition. Here, reality is not escaped or denied, but it is deepened. A quiet Romantic sensibility pervades the space, not in grand gestures, but as an undercurrent of yearning and reflection.
Playful, sensuous, and dreamlike, the works are profoundly personal yet mysteriously expansive. Rather than narrating a story, the exhibition offers an experience where each encounter reflects a fleeting glimpse of something larger than oneself. Drawing from the vitality and elegance of Rococo and the radiance and expressiveness of Impressionism, the exhibition revels in the subtle poetry of perception. The exhibition breathes life into light and movement.
Visitors are carried gently through this world, drifting between awe and reflection, discovery and delight, as each piece becomes a moment of wonder and a celebration of whimsy.
