We are all integral parts of a cohesive whole in which people, nature and matter are interconnected. Art expands our feeling of entanglement with our surroundings, transforming our living space into a private sanctuary that resonates with personal meaning. This is the foundation of the new KALPA-curated exhibition ELEMENTAL at the Molteni Pavilion, which brings together the work of Eleanor Herbosch (Belgium), Akiko Hirai (Japan/UK) and Tom Palmer (UK).
Including a harmonious selection of vessels in alabaster, ceramic sculptures and textural paintings, ELEMENTAL delves into the essence of mineral and earth as the source and guardian of life, the root of our nutrition and first home. This primordial substance has been intricately woven into the fabric of human civilization, becoming a testament to the enduring bond between humanity and the very ground upon which we stand.
