Leaving the Island

This collective exhibit curated by Marie Maertens explores the multifaceted symbolism of water as both a serene and tumultuous force. It evokes idyllic visions of travel and connection, yet also embodies destruction and the poignant weight of forced departures. Water, as a source of life and emotion, intertwines dreams and despair, summer joy, and the intimate bonds it nurtures. Its fluidity mirrors human experiences, flowing through memory, loss, and desire, resonating with the deepest layers of our existence. Through this poetic and evocative lens, the exhibit becomes a testament to water’s role as a mirror of our emotions and histories.
