PESKY - Lost in Time
Event description
"Lost in Time" delves into themes of femininity, objectification, aging, and death by
challenging the notion of women as consumable objects and decorative pieces.
Through a combination of doll heads encased in glass domes and large
photographic portraits displayed on the gallery walls, the narrative unfolds to explore
the cycles of life, mortality, resilience, and transformation.
The artworks in the exhibition serve as a poignant commentary on the relentless
passage of time and the disposable nature of contemporary society. Once treasured
items, now forgotten and discarded, such as vintage cake stands, porcelain dolls,
and pearls sourced from thrift stores, are given new life as they are repurposed and
arranged into symbols of resilience and wisdom.
Drawing from the artist's personal experiences of loss, including the impact of death
and witnessing family members coping with dementia, "Lost in Time" weaves
together the themes of living ghosts and echoes of bygone eras. The exhibition
invites viewers to contemplate the enduring presence of the past amidst the fleeting
nature of the present, creating a thought-provoking exploration of memory, legacy,
and the transient nature of existence.
