Fragments of Fragility and Salvation contains work from 2 prior exhibitions: The Fragility Series and Salvation: Redux. This showcase aims to bring both worlds together as a celebration of past works given new life and meaning.
The Fragility Series showcased back in 2019 at 3 different locations, with 3 separate bodies of work for each, and focused on the nature of Life and Death, and what they mean to various individuals.
Salvation: Redux, showcased in 2022, served as an introspective exploration of a wanderer's journey to further understand themself, and their place in the world at large.

The Wanderer arrived at their innermost court, eager for answers... for direction.
Having learned from previous encounters, they approached cautiously, keen to show The Ideal Self the reverence they felt it deserved. His Imperial Majesty looked on and smiled, perched atop and head held high, He said in the softest of voices:
"Even now Wanderer, your eyes are affixed onto the Ideal, completely shielding you of my presence. Yet, my purpose isn't to tell you you've been wrong all along, but rather to help shift your focus to what matters."

Regalia is a representation of our Ego's self-expression and how we as individuals dress up and put on a display for the world to see.

Parade Of The Wayward Wishes represents the constant tension between the parts of us that wishes to dream, while being pulled in another direction by the parts of us that yearn for stability and structure. Though in constant conflict, they will forever be interwoven and tangled together; however what determines if our dreams are realized is how well we're able to reign in our personal parades.

Time may be constant, but it is rarely ever linear. We often look to the past to inform our current choices, in hopes that our desired future could join us here once more, in the present.
But rarely is it ever that straight-forward... and rarely does She allow us the pleasure of knowing if those choices do in fact lead to our desired outcome.

We may think of Death as a looming, scary, and harrowing pressence, often outfitted with a black cloak, scythe, and exposed bones... If this is true, then I urge you to reconsider.
Rather, picture a young girl in a beautiful, floral-print dress who maintains a special garden. Now picture within that garden, a flower for each individual life on earth...
These flowers blossom when they die.

As the flowers blossom, their light is released. Our connections throughout our lives manifest in a kaleidoscope of constellations, and through Death will something new and beautiful be birthed once more.

Most things in life succumb to the Forces of Duality, and this is no different for Destiny and Chance. At the same time Destiny, though intertwined with the infinite, tends to lean towards the singularity of all; and Chance, though expressing the singularity, pulls from all aspects of the infinite.
However, the possibility of what could be often overshadows what needs to be...
This is what happens when Destiny is left up to Chance.
Inspired by Richard Nattoo's character, Blackbird.

As sure as there's a dawn, eventually twilight must come too. However, the moments of Time in between aren't always as clear-cut as we might hope. What may seem like the end for some may in fact be a beginning, while the brightest of beginnings may very well be the end for others.
What matters is that your crop is ready in anticipation of a sucessful harvest.
