SUMMARY:Ju Yun: Where You Belong
DESCRIPTION:* This exhibition runs Mar. 23–May 2\, with a public reception on Sat.\, Mar. 28. * \n\n\n\nSouth Korean artist Ju Yun navigates the tension between two contrasting worlds.

SUMMARY:Kimberly Margioni: Fluid Nature
DESCRIPTION:* This exhibition runs Mar. 23–May 2\, with a public reception on Sat.\, Mar. 28. * \n\n\n\nKimberly Margioni’s work explores the delicate balance between nature\, emotion\, and cultural heritage. Drawing inspiration from the world around her—the vibrant landscapes or the quiet beauty of everyday moments—she seeks to capture the essence of life in its raw\, unfiltered form. Her creative process is rooted in the belief that art has the power to transcend boundaries and speak directly to the soul. Each piece reflects her travel journey\, an invitation to feel deeply and connect with the universal experience of love\, resilience\, and transformation. As a current naval officer and mechanical engineer\, she brings a unique perspective to her art\, breaking from the rigidity of her day-to-day to dive into her abstract\, fluid\, imperfect approach with emotional depth. This creates both structured and fluid works\, grounded yet ever evolving.
