The infinite universe by Patty Maher
Throughout her work, Yayoi Kusama uses polka dots as a metaphor for giving up personal identity and becoming one with the universe.

Holbav, the Land Where the Soul Floats by Andrei Baciu
At first, there was a discreet rustle, as short as it was concrete.

The photography of Michaela Ďurišova

Huis clos by Kathleen Meier
The series Huis clos confronts us with a suggestive confinement. What happens in us when we are faced with a desperate situation ? What do we feel when we no longer have a connection with the outside world ? Disorientation and loss of contact with the outside world put us into a physical and mental isolation and can lead us — in a conscious or subconscious way — to modify our relationship with the external reality.This maze slowly conducts us into a mental illness.

Ansel Adams at Museum of Fine Arts Boston
Boston (13 Dec 2018 – 24 Feb 2019) Ansel Adams is the rare artist whose works have helped to define a genre.

These images constitute an iconic visual legacy—one that continues to inspire and provoke.

The Anonymous Artists
By what mechanism do I see beauty in decay or distress? Why does a defaced-distressed message incite me? And, how can defacement delineate the mundane mess, from aesthetic magic? The answers may reside in the cognitive theory, which, for the most part, is concerned with the development of an individual's thought process

Abstract photography
I always felt that abstract photography was something one needs to mature into.  It takes insight and patience to see what is insinuated rather than what is implied. 




Inland by Nuno Serrão
I miss the feeling of wonder I had when someone asked me: What do you want to be when you grow up? That’s the hardest part of being grown-up. To find new dreams when I know what it feels like when you have to let them go.
