Curated by co-founders Karolina Glusiec and Jamie Temple, the exhibition features recent works from 19 artists, including selections of paintings, drawings, moving images, sculpture, textiles, original prints, and ceramics.

I presented three pieces from my VIGILS series, a collection of textile sculptures that explores the concept of restriction about bodies, thoughts, and freedom. This series investigates physical and psychological constraints imposed on individuals, examining how these limitations influence our experiences and perceptions. Each sculpture in the VIGILS series reflects on the tension between confinement and the human desire for liberation, offering a critical perspective on the boundaries that define and restrict our existence.
