Pain and Desire

The exhibition explores the body not merely as a physical form, but as a vessel of memory, trauma, repressed experiences, and unspoken desires. Within this framework, the body emerges as a living archive, where invisible wounds and silenced longings are inscribed and intertwined.

Through diverse artistic approaches, the exhibition positions the body simultaneously as a silent witness to trauma and as the locus of desire. It unfolds as a site that is at once fragile and resilient, wounded yet resistant, fragmented but constantly capable of renewal and transformation.
