DOOM, 2021 | full exhibition
Solo Exhibition.
This exhibition explored feelings of inevitability; a deep future and deep past that are unattainable. The title "Doom," is at odds with the actual works inside.
The word doom evokes fear and existential dread while the pieces inside are careful and tender. The contrast was meant to memorialize the small moments as a way to ease the discomfort that comes with the continuation of time and our individual endings.
