Joyce Lee - On Sensuality & Self Expression

Moving eloquently through the whimsical, intense and surreal twists in her artistic journey. Joyce Lee weaves new worlds and narratives with her meticulous technical skill with her uniquely bold intuitive vision. Delving into a new era of erotic escapism, Joyce Lee’s works ignite emotion, requires reflection and always commands a closer look.

Madison Voloshin - Standing On Two Feet But Always Tap Dancing

People often say that your hairdresser is like a member of your family, someone you can overshare with, the keeper of secrets. I swear, hairdressers are in the same category as your barista; someone who has some magical power to make your day better, all the while patiently counselling you in a physical and most often emotional transformation. Here you are, voluntarily in a seat for (often) hours, trusting this person with the task of fixing you, improving you, helping you, and most importantly shaping your identity for the foreseeable future.

Marcello Castellani - Honouring Duality Through Deconstruction

Berlin based artist Marcello Castellani explores the intricate depths and layers of the human experience. Through his works he examines the dual landscapes of the physical form and our inner worlds, highlighting both the beautiful complexities yet sometimes confronting darkness that lies within.  Through a process of deconstruction Castellani peels away the surface and delves deeper into themes of chaos, emotion, spiritual journey, self-reflection, and the raw vulnerability of true connection to create a holistic portrayal of the visceral nature of human existence.
