The Tangible Silence of Coming Home - A phrase steeped in the aspirations of stability, security and civility – Through painting, installation, and sculptural intervention, the artists engage with the idiosyncratic structures that shape both the uncanny and the mundane, probing the constructed nature of place, memory, and identity. Drawing from an anthropological perspective, the exhibition reflects on the fragmented tension between personal mythologies and collective ideals. The familiar is deconstructed, reconfigured, and made peculiar,
questioning what remains when notions of home, tradition, security and affection are dismantled and reimagined. By rethinking the prescribed and the conserved, the works challenge the social architectures that govern perception—disrupting, inverting, and ultimately redefining what a is a home might mean in a world of shifting realities. By deconstructing and reimagining the uncanny, The artists question what remains when the frameworks of civility and familiarity begin to dissolve? The artists expose the fragility of collective ideals and the ways in which social, political, and personal narratives shape our perception of conformation and affiliation.
