The main question the exhibition looks into, is, “Where do we belong?” This is a question many people think about, and each artist shares their own thoughts and feelings on this topic. They look at their past experiences and the world around them to understand their place in society.
In their artwork, these artists express their search for a sense of belonging. They show how they observe their environments with care and respect. They also share their dreams for themselves and others. Through their art, they use symbols and images to convey their feelings and experiences. It’s interesting to see how their stories overlap, as they all seek calm in a chaotic world.
