Conversation: Muse and Dream

Alice Hu

Gallery 2

Conversation: Muse and Dream explores the fusion of classical Western aesthetics with contemporary subcultures through a Chinese-Australian lens. Centred on the Chinese concept of 留白 (Liúbái)—negative space—the exhibition uses this visual silence to reflect hybrid identity. The exhibition invites reflection on cultural intersections and find belonging in the space between heritage and modernity, East and West, past and future.

In Motion

Sara Boni

EHA Gallery

In Motion is an exhibition that invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and reconnect with their body, with nature, and with the quiet power of fleeting moments. Themes of freedom, healing, self-awareness, and our symbiotic relationship with nature run throughout the works, which are not just portraits but reflections of the relationship between artist and model, human and landscape, body and mind.
