The project brings together artists working across various forms of visual expression — from abstraction to transformed objects that have lost their original function.

The exhibition explores the traces left by people, events, and time, and how human experience is preserved and transformed — an experience that continues to exist as long as it is re-lived. At the core of the exhibition lies the idea that meaning is found not so much in the object itself, but in its reinterpretation — through a shift in context and the specificity of its presence in space.

Here, the surface becomes a carrier of memory: it holds pressure, touch, and transformation. Canvases turn into a living field of traces, while the artist leaves a material imprint of time upon them.

Among the works are ceramics assembled from found objects, while in painting, the artist’s own imprints emerge — capturing movement and time, layering the process of creation itself.
