About the Exhibition
Cycles brings emerging artists, each exploring the many dimensions of time including memory and momentum, endings and renewal, inheritance and evolution. Through a range of mediums, the works invite viewers to reflect on how time shapes identity, relationships, culture and community. From fleeting moments to generational shifts, each piece asks how we measure time and how time, in turn, shapes us.
