About the Show:

In this exhibition, time breathes.
Visitors are invited to move gently through the space,
becoming both watchers and changers—
active and passive, present and reflected.


Time, as we know it, stretches and shrinks—
sometimes slow as deep long breath,
sometimes swift as flash of a memory.
We touch and are touched,
leave marks and are marked.


Here, those quiet truths take shape.
Some works will respond to your presence with or without your intent—
a shadow, a step, a breath will shift them.
Others will ask something more of you: a choice, a gesture,
a moment of stillness or interaction.

This is a space for pause, for feeling the weight and lightness of time, for reflecting on the unseen ways we move through the world— and how the world moves through us.
