here’s something I’ve got

Material items can be coded with contextual or personal significance. Some evokes intimacy and linkage within familiar settings, whereas some can encapsulate scepticism towards traditions and perceived practices. Many would be imbued with a relentless seizure of the past. Objects then metamorphose into subjects, bearing public or private meanings to us.

here’s something I’ve got involves Treasured by Helen Newman, a commissioned series in collaboration with participants from local communities. It also encompasses existing works 33 Beads by Nasim Nasr, and Ema Datshi by Sonam Yangdon. While the flatness of lightbox surfaces inhibits materiality, the artists and contributors unleash the depth of objects with unique cultural and individual references.
