A presentation of artworks holding subtlety and deception, a unique dialect with a sentimentality for nostalgia and a pining for the present — where “the past reappears because it is a hidden present”. An exhibition oscillating, where isolation, emotion, solitude and silence sit within a subplot, one notwithstanding the surreal humour of societal extremity, the autobiographical and tender intimacy of everyday life.

Emotionally and atmospherically between Caspar David Friedrich’s Wanderer above the Sea of Fog and Monk by the Sea, with each painting’s protagonist being taken and supplanted into Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot.

A deceptive dialect,
an allegory, all together for an announcement … to be forgotten;
drifting, but calm;

to be both precise and liberated from … I’ve forgotten.

Deceptively sentimental, somehow something remains sinister… oscillating;
looking at the sea and a sea of fog (a sea within a sea) … see.

A figure or a tree, a form remains with the seas,
peering into its solitude and its own deception;

within and without an imaginary world … I’ve forgotten.

Not forgotten,
rather soft or serene, just there …
