Echoes of the Sacred: Remembering Through the Body

Other works in this exhibition explore the human experience. Echoes through the Sacred: Remembering Through the Body by Gyuzel Gadelshina is a paper work with fluorescent pigments that explores the body as a site of memory. The work depicts the outline of a human body with fluorescent colors inside on a black background. Gadelshina explains that, “The glowing colours, emanating from the chest and limbs, draw attention to the body’s inner, unseen life and echo sacred body painting rituals, where marks on the skin become embodied acts of memory and storytelling”. All the pieces included in this exhibition explore the theme of Art and Memory in personal and creative ways. Viewers interacting with these artworks will perhaps leave the exhibition with new insights to memory, experiences, and what we value as humans through our interactions with time and others.
