R[age is a gallery show that explores the tension between aging, identity, in a society obsessed with youth and technology. Inspired by Dylan Thomas’ poem Do not go gentle into that good night, this exhibition challenges the notion that growing older means fading away. Instead, it celebrates the wisdom, defiance, and power that come with time.

Opening Night: September 5, 2025 at the Abbozzo Gallery from 5 to 8 pm

This is more than an exhibition—it’s a conversation. A reckoning. A refusal to be erased.

We would be honored to have you there.

How long can you hold on to what’s slipping away, even when all that’s left is the memory of warmth?

Grief is not a clean break but a slow dissolution, an unraveling of the self into memory and longing. Waltz of Ashes captures the quiet devastation of loss,the way love does not simply end with death, but lingers, hollowing out the living. The figure clings to what remains, embracing absence as if it still holds warmth, stepping in time with the past, unwilling to let go.

This is not a dance of passion, but of sorrow. A final waltz with what once was, where dust and bone take the place of flesh, and love, enduring, desperate, refuses to fade.
