Ruup & Form is delighted to announce the upcoming exhibition 'Subtle Connections: Water and the Space in Between', which will explore the profound relationship between water, materiality, and meaning. As both a physical and symbolic force, water bridges the tangible and intangible, shaping our world in countless ways.
This exhibition invites audiences to experience water as an inspiration, a transformative medium, and a narrative thread woven into the showcased works. Through diverse artistic practices, the featured artists examine water as a symbol of life, renewal, migration, and survival, offering reflections on its role in human and ecological contexts. Subtle Connections delivers a rich, sensory exploration of art and life.
