About the event
Artist Statement
“I believe people, regardless of differences all engage in one struggle against reality, and therefore have to deal with one of its inevitable consequence, the urge to escape reality’s overbearing dictate.

But one can only retreat for so long..because time passes and solace runs dry.”
