“Creating a work in 2020 has an unprecedented sense of strangeness. A number of historic global issues swirl in the air, and how we are facing that challenge right now. I have been trying some.
In this exhibition, we selected works that aimed at the current state of the collapsing society, and tried to show what kind of place our society is now staggering. We hope that the complexities of the layers will help us overcome this crisis as a portrait of anxious mental states and social shields. -Jackie Sakocchio
