About the artwork
As the conceptual anchor of the show, Sam’s collages set the tone both materially and philosophically. Her works are acts of precision - meticulously composed from fragments of paper, text, and image, they form fragile architectures of memory and feeling. There’s a quiet tension in her pieces, like letters written but never sent. By physically dissecting and reassembling the visual world, she points to the disjointedness of contemporary experience: the beauty in fracture, the dignity in silence. Each collage is a meditation on control and release, on what we choose to hold together and what we allow to fall apart.

Exhibitions
This artwork was part of SMALL DISTURBANCES exhibition in June 2025.
What is it that unsettles us, not with a crash but with a murmur? What do we overlook that, once seen, cannot be unseen? The show is less about grand gestures and more about the gravitational pull of the unnoticed - the broken thread, the flawed line, the offbeat rhythm that exposes a deeper pattern beneath.
This show embodies the idea that change rarely arrives as thunder - it begins with a quiet shift in the air, a subtle redirection of focus. The artists in this exhibition do not shout. They nudge, whisper, tease, and provoke. They understand that the small is never just small. It is the seed of something much larger.
