About the event
Rooted in the radical beauty of nature and inspired by Anne Carson's writings on desire and longing and Hélène Cixous' articulation of the female body, Mak's artistry manifests painting as a language, capturing and abstracting her experiences and connections with the universe. Mak crafts spaces imbued with openness, fluidity, and unapologetic romance, drawing us into the ethereal stages of painting - abstractions of emotions that stimulate the senses and imagination, a oneness of ecstasy.
The exhibition The Dream Has Me will showcase Mak's most recent works. Echoing the sentiments of Hélène Cixous, who believed dreams to be a vital source of inspiration and self-discovery, Mak uses her dreamscapes as a canvas to reflect her innermost thoughts, desires, and fears, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy to create a sense of disorientation and wonder.
