A Room of One's Vision: Portals of Transformation
This collection includes exhibitions that open doorways into other worlds—dreamlike gardens, mythic landscapes, and sonic thresholds. From Niki de Saint Phalle’s Tarot Garden, where archetypes rise like monuments from the Italian earth, to Rebecca Belmore’s Wave Sound sculptures that invite the land itself to speak, each piece becomes a portal. In The Milk of Dreams, the Venice Biennale becomes a surreal spellbook of feminine futurism, while Wangechi Mutu’s Intertwined evokes deep-time memory, myth, and metamorphosis. This collection is for the seeker who wants to listen with their whole body, to see with their inner eye, and to remember what the rational mind has forgotten. A gallery of vision, for the season of inward turning.
