Weaving together lived experiences through cultural symbolism, each artist constructs works that investigate self-expression, identity, and future possibilities.

While some of the artists reference art history, others hardly regard formalism, pushing their mediums to unseen boundaries and pulling from cultural lineage and backgrounds. ![]() Through a variety of mediums, the exhibition assembles a wide range of influences and inspirations, from the outsider art movement to pop art, to post-analog painting and hyperrealism.
