Opening Night
Friday 5 Apr | 6 - 8pm
◼︎
A search for the Inner Self.
An attempt to visualise the internal self, using the image of the peaceful Buddha.
We all live within our internal reality, and the hope is that we can connect these realities for a more peaceful world.
‘Still Life’ lends its inspiration from the harmony and peacefulness in Buddhism.
Motifs are drawn from references to surrealism and symbolism.
