Bokeh Lounge: Javiera Ebner, Nancy Wood, José Luis Fuenzalida, Maryanna Hardy, Constantine Katsiris
A group exhibition of interdisciplinary perspectives from local artists Javiera Ebner, Nancy Wood, José Luis Fuenzalida, Maryanna Hardy, and Constantine Katsiris, ours is a call to resist the urge for immediacy in an increasingly fast-moving society. Whether captured on city streets or in rural landscapes, we offer a reminder that quietude and patience in the present moment can reveal harmony in the everyday, if only we walk slowly enough to engage.
