'The Home' Exhibition

The exhibition 'The Home' - Preservation, Longing, Presence and Absence' was born in and out of a turbulent period. Suddenly, terms like 'home', which were previously clear and well-defined in our personal and collective lexicon, were undermined and took on new meanings. The works in the exhibition present the gallery artists' interpretation of the concept of 'home' - whether in its physical-material aspects, such as its preservation, absence and presence; or in its psychological aspects, such as memory, contentment and longing. The artists were given the freedom to address the topic as they wished. Consequently, each work is like a glimpse into a room in memory - some bathed in soft light... others full of fragments; some expressing longing, and others even showing hope... Perhaps this is the home that is no more, the home we dreamed of, or one we didn't realize we had... a home to leave and return to. The exhibition opened with two salon meetings for designers, where an open and courageous discussion took place about growth out of loss. The discussion delved into the various layers of coping and the meaning of home as part of it, with an awareness that ignoring the difficulty would be a disservice to reality. However, an optimistic perspective was offered, one of recovery and hope.
