Press Release

I am the sun, I am the New Year is conceived as a playground for joyful revolution. Drawing from the spirit of Dada, Marcel Duchamp, and Federico García Lorca, the exhibition rejects authoritarianism and its unnatural systems of oppression, while engaging with the uneasy presence of historical ghosts. These tensions unfold across the dance floor, the chessboard, the depths of the sea, and the surface of the moon.
