The Sacred & The Profane

The Sacred and the Profane brings together a collection of works and writings that probe the porous boundary between what we hold sacred and what we deem profane. Moving across landscapes both literal and symbolic, the exhibition unearths the tensions, overlaps, and dialogues between ritual and rupture, transcendence and embodiment, tradition and transformation.
This catalog gathers essays that explore the constellation of ideas behind the work—ancestry, decay, divinity, desire, land, memory, and the body. Each text offers a window into a different facet of the exhibition, illuminating how the sacred is not always lofty nor the profane always base, but how both may exist in dynamic interplay within materials, gestures, and lived experiences.
The exhibition invites us to consider the altar and the artifact, the relic and the ruin, not as opposites but as cohabitants in a shared space of inquiry. The works featured here are not static objects but offerings—open-ended, processual, and alive to the viewer's presence. In walking through this exhibition, we are asked to carry with us questions rather than answers: What do we choose to sanctify? What have we discarded, and why? Where do we locate the divine in a secular world?
The Sacred and the Profane is not a search for resolution, but a tracing of thresholds—between matter and spirit, between personal mythology and collective memory. In these in-between spaces, we are asked to look again, and to find meaning in the fragments.

Witches & Wolves

Life is but a series of moments, snapshots in time held together by fragments of memory. Of Witches and Wolves is a collection of some of those moments; wisps sewn together into a patchwork quilt of poetry. Loss and love, distance and togetherness, this book covers a year in emotional time; abstracts of reminiscences written in the moment. It is a story of two worlds, two realms, two dreams, two dreamers. The duality of the real and the unreal…Of witches and wolves.Every woman has a witch in her, looking to charm a wolf to be her familiar. Every man has a wolf hidden deep inside his chest, searching for a witch to guard, to serve, to fulfil his destiny.Nurtured within our imagination since we were babes in arms, witches and wolves, familiar denizens of fairy tales, occupy a dreamscape in which we rarely escape to in adulthood. These poems seek to lead us back into that world, to a place where we can reconnect with our inner self and try to make sense of our experiences. It is a journey beyond any physical place, nor simply a mystical, mythical realm where feelings are materialized in words. It is to a place where rhymes are sculpted as monuments to memories, shrouded in the fog of human confusion. An allegorical journey between a heaven scattered with stars and valleys cloaked in mysteries, among which - if we search hard enough - where we find the summits of human feeling revealed.If life is a sea where we are all lost, poetry is an island; a haven, a place in which we can retreat after a hard day to float into our imagination. An imaginary space where the witch is in love with the wolf, and the wolf surrenders to his love.
