“Warming House” is a group exhibition happening at a moment that may signal a cold and uncertain chapter in history. This exhibition is designed as a refuge where beauty and handcrafted objects provide warmth, softness, and playful complexity, while subtly evoking an undercurrent of unease.

Twisted cords, woven paintings that play with perception, embroidered scenes of miscommunication, wire structures, pulsing light fixtures, and flags of ambiguous origin create an atmostphere of tense comfort, inviting viewers to explore the delicate balance between security and uncertainty.
