Exhibitions

In Morphē, the form is not a shell but a shiver. Gathering sculptural works in brass, wood, resin, and glass—each work is a gesture toward a Grecian notion that form is not simply appearance, but essence made visible. Morphē is what lies beneath the skin of things, what survives translation from idea to matter, and what pulses quietly when a shape begins to feel.

For this exhibition, the artists here do not ask form to explain. They ask it to feel. A curve becomes an embrace. An angle, a rebuke. A hollow, a hunger. Each sculpture, though silent, hums with the tension between structure and softness, between what is seen and what is sensed. You do not merely look—you lean in, you linger, you listen.

In Ancient Greek, "morphe" (μορφή) means form, shape, or outward appearance. It can refer to a thing's physical structure, its substance, and how it presents itself to the vision. Some forms bend inward, gestural as breath held too long. Others rise in spirals, flaring like questions without answers. And still others sit grounded—solid, intimate, enduring—bearing the quiet weight of presence. Across these works, there is a shared belief that shape can ache. That emotion has geometry. That what we call beauty is simply truth in equilibrium.

In this space, material becomes mood. Brass gleams with contained gravity. Wood carries warmth like a remembered touch. Glass holds both fragility and defiance in its sheen. The artists do not sculpt objects; they sculpt feelings in their rawest grammar—grief without spectacle, joy without excess, wonder without need for words.

Morphē is not just a celebration of form—it is a meditation on how form holds feeling, how line and mass become the architecture of empathy. Here, emotion is not decoration. It is foundation. These are not monuments to be admired from a distance, but presences to be met, to be felt.

Because in the end, the body remembers what the eye forgets. And in the right hands, form can do what even language cannot: carry the shape of what moves us.

“Morphē” will be on view from April 22 to May 13, 2025. The exhibition is located at Atrium Level, 1/F, Opus Mall.
