<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;"><i>Origins & Afterlives</i><b> </b>explores themes of memory, bodies, environments, and identity- examining how stories originate and how they are collected, fragmented, or
reimagined in their afterlives. Through painting, sculpture, installation, and digital media, artists transform, deconstruct, and reconstruct- thread, pigment, pixels, organic matter- revealing cycles of preservation, entropy, and adaptation. Memory becomes
subject and process through the collection of the ephemeral, and the ways personal and collective histories are altered and retold. Human and non-human bodies become vessels for resilience and fragility, a site of trauma, care, and transformation. Interspecies
and intersystem relationships intertwine and shift, blending natural and digital to question hierarchies, networks, and speculative futures. As fragments are stitched, layered, and repurposed,
<i>Origins and Afterlives</i> proposes an ongoing negotiation between presence and absence, permanence and decay- inviting viewers to reconsider what is kept, lost, or reborn.</span></p>
