Fragility – The Void and the Philosophical Unknown

The works in this section navigate the profound spaces of the void, impermanence, and the philosophical unknown. Exploring hollows, apertures, in-between atmospheric states, and the quiet inevitability of dissolution, these artists engage with fragility not as a point of fracture, but as an open threshold. Through paper, silver, pigments, silicone, and cast metal, their creations carve spaces where certainty dissolves—inviting us to embrace transience, silence, and the immaterial as transformative sites of presence and awakening.

Agne Zaltauskaite, Agnès Wo, Deniz Turan, Malene Kastalje &  Yasuko Kanno
