As a new year unfolds, Veins of Time: Continuity and Becoming brings together artists whose works attend to the quiet persistence of time and its invisible currents within lived experience. Time is approached here not as a linear progression but as a circulating force—moving through memory, matter, and imagination, shaping both individual consciousness and collective histories.

The exhibition traces how the past flows into the present, revealing time as something embodied and felt rather than abstract or distant. Across painting, photography, sculpture, performance, and digital practices, the featured works explore how moments endure, dissolve, and reconfigure, allowing what has been lived to remain active within what is still forming. Continuity and change are not positioned as opposites but as interdependent conditions through which identities, places, and meanings are continually negotiated.
Within this framework, artistic creation emerges as a temporal gesture suspended between holding and releasing, permanence and transience. The works assembled here engage with cycles of decay and renewal, stillness and movement, suggesting that art does not merely record time but participates in it. In bringing together these varied practices, Veins of Time: Continuity and Becoming affirms art as a space where temporal experience is sensed, questioned, and reimagined—where the act of making itself becomes a conduit through which the living veins of time remain visible.
