“The drylands are the interface between the known and the unknown. They stand at the edge of order and chaos. Dust particles float into the ethereal realms and glint before disappearing; a scene that transfixes my gaze and leaves me enthralled. It is to me, the closest representation of a quantum reality - but then, how does one ‘paint the moving light of the desert’.”

In My Own Words

Communicating Thoughts, Feelings, and Experiences Through Art


Art has long been a powerful language that transcends words, allowing individuals to
express their innermost thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences.

In My Own Words is an art exhibition that invites artists to visually narrate their personal stories, perspectives, and inner worlds through various artistic mediums.

This exhibition is a testament to the profound ability of art to communicate what words often cannot.
