Under the Skin explores the interplay between surface and essence, celebrating beauty as something far deeper than appearances.. It invites viewers to look past the obvious and engage with the radiant, unspoken qualities that define the essence of what they observe, whether it’s a painting, an object, a person, or a life event. It delves into how surfaces, whether physical, social, or cultural, serve as both a medium of visibility and a veil that can obscure deeper meanings, while also acting as an invitation to a different realm.
In a culture dominated by the visual, where appearances are often carefully curated and mediated, the exhibition seeks to praise the kind of beauty that not only satisfies visual appeal but also emerges from authenticity and depth. It reflects on how true beauty not only endures but transcends the allure of appearances, revealing itself in the essence that remains even after external layers are stripped away. This perspective urges viewers to engage with the surface and also with what lies beneath, uncovering the complexity of what lies beyond. By doing so, it transforms the surface from a boundary into a gateway, through which the profound beauty of truth, resilience, and transformation can be discovered.
