‘Détente’ aspires to steward as a conduit for the spectators to traverse through the exhibit and experience a diverse array of artistic themes, where the fixtures and frames emanate with vibrant hues of creativity and echoes of diverse narratives. Each artist and their work reflects a unique perspective on evolution, the living world complexion, sum and substance, culture, societal constructs, social cloth, and beyond.
