“We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates.”
- Jun’ichirō Tanizaki (In Praise of Shadows)

This open call for submission centers around an evocative and poetic theme that allows for wide interpretation across a range of personal, artistic, and societal experiences. It seeks to explore the quiet power in the yet unseen, the barely visible, the half obscured, the nearly revealed and the implied versus the explicit.

Calling All Artists | Group Exhibition “Exit · Escape and Rebirth” at A Space Gallery

In this exhibition, “Exit” transcends its literal meaning as a door; it embodies liberation and the possibility of a fresh start. It serves as a metaphor for transition, a space where reality and dreams intersect, where self-reflection occurs, and moments of clarity emerge from disorder.
