PASSAGES

The Creation of Light and the Cycle of Transformation

Passages is an artistic exploration of light as the origin of life and as a force of transformation through time,

nature, and human experience. Taking the Summer Solstice as its symbolic point of departure, the

exhibition reflects on the moment when light reaches its peak and opens a threshold into change.

It proposes a symbolic journey through the cycle of the seasons, understood not only as climatic

phenomena, but as states of existence: birth, expansion, transformation, introspection, and renewal.

Each artwork represents a phase in this cycle of life, in which light serves as a generative force of energy,

movement, and change. Through painting, mixed media, and textile installation, the artists explore the

many ways light manifests: as warmth, memory, matter, consciousness, vulnerability, resilience, and rebirth.

The exhibition follows the rhythm of the four seasons and the four natural elements: earth, air, water, and

fire, while introducing a fifth, invisible element: passage. This fifth element is the threshold between states,

the space of becoming where transformation takes place.

A significant point of resonance within the exhibition is Fleur Moerenhout’s multisensory textile installation

You Are Me And Me Is You, which invites visitors to reconnect with the natural world through touch,

sound, wearable masks, and symbolic maps. Representing earth, air, water, and fire, the installation

transforms the viewer from a passive observer into an active participant. The two new outdoor works, made

from natural materials, are exposed to weather and time, gradually changing and returning to the earth. In

this way, the installation makes visible the cyclical processes of nature and the fragile interdependence

between human beings and the living world. The project also questions inherited divisions between

humans and nature, body and mind, and masculine and feminine, proposing these oppositions not as

hierarchies, but as complementary forces within the cyclical rhythms of life.

Rather than presenting change as a final destination, the exhibition understands transformation as an

unfolding journey. Each work becomes a passage between light and darkness, nature and humanity, body

and spirit, memory and possibility.

As the Solstice marks the turning of a season, visitors are invited to reflect on their own transitions: where

they come from, where they stand now, and what new forms of light may emerge ahead.
