In today's interconnected world, the notion of identity has progressively become more
complex and multifaceted. Gender, geography, and social/political beliefs, to name but a few shape the ways individuals perceive and express themselves.

This exhibition brings together five artists from diverse corners of the globe, each accentuating themes of intersecting identities through the lenses of chimerism, duality, hybridity, queer identity, and the construction and deconstruction of self. Using various visual strategies, these artists delve into the intricate layers of identity formation and expression, inviting you to journey through contemporary identity's dynamic and ever-changing landscape.

Concrete and glass, common place building materials come together in brutal embrace. Forever encased neither one can be removed from the other without leaving it's mark. The dangers of vulnerability.
