In a world shaken up and disrupted, tension is palpable. Pulled simultaneously toward the past and the future, navigating the disruption while reaching for the future and what is to come.

This friction shapes how cultural codes are rewritten and long-held structures dissolve.

As materials, forms, and symbols evolve, they reflect our collective search for meaning in an era of uncertainty.

This in-between space, where structure bends and transformation unfold, creates a landscape of contradictions. Familiarity and nostalgia are reimagined, as elements from different times and places merge to form something unexpected.

The lines between past and future, the personal and the collective, need to be restored and cherished.

Softness meets rigidity, the ceremonial intertwines with the everyday, and personal expression takes on a political and communal weight. These tensions are generative forces, shaping new ways of thinking and belonging.

The future lies in embracing these contradictions and merging them into a cohesive whole —not resisting change, but making it, understanding that identity and culture are not static but continuously shaped by tension and transformation.

This space, where preservation and reinvention intersect, voids are needed for new expressions to take root. Meaning is not fixed but shaped by movement, constantly redefined through the push and pull of time, culture, and identity.
