Overflow: A Reflection on My First Solo Exhibition

Stepping into the realm of a solo exhibition marks a significant milestone for any artist — a culmination of creative vision, passion, and countless hours of dedication.

The visitor immerses themselves in the artworks on display at the exhibition.

Rewinding to 2022, winning the MEA Award was a pivotal moment in my career. Being one of the top 5 winners came with the incredible opportunity to showcase my work in a solo exhibition. Fast forward to 2nd of March 2024, the doors of G13 Gallery opened to reveal this exhibition titled “Overflow” — a series that delves into the impact of the digital age on our perception of reality. Comprising 10 artworks, each piece in this series offered a unique perspective on themes of identity, technology, and human connection.

The reception of the exhibition was phenomenal and exceeded my expectations, with a lively atmosphere buzzing with excitement and curiosity. I was deeply touched by the positive feedback from art collectors and visitors alike, and I am grateful to say that almost all of my artworks and art prints found new homes.

As I reflect on this journey, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to share my vision with the world. This exhibition has been more than just an exhibition; it has been a catalyst for meaningful conversations and connections, reaffirming the power of art to inspire, provoke, and unite us all.

My hope is that this show will continue to spark introspection and dialogue long after the exhibition doors have closed, serving as a reminder that art has the power to transcend boundaries and illuminate the depths of the human experience.

Visitors pause to photograph the artworks on display at the show.
