The Poetry of What is!


This exhibition is not about me, my emotions, or my experiences. It is the unfolding of forms, actions and energy that speaks only to itself. It does not echo anything but what is. What is, is nameless and has no labels; as it refuses to be what we want it to be.

It connects to the turbulences of the movements of who we are, masking and sculpting the abstraction of our realities. What is becomes the wonder and awe that opens our eyes to look inward; toward the autonomous self, focusing beyond a personal narrative, aligning with the unchanging essence of who we are.

Exhibition Opening Date: October 2nd to January 9th

Gallery Night MKE - July 17 and 18th
