...AND THE COSMOS RETURNS TO CLAIM ITS PLACE @NARS FOUNDATION 28 AUG 2026 - 25 SEP 2026 …and the Cosmos returns to claim its place is a large-scale installation exploring humanity’s relationship with the cosmos and the unknown. Hand-moulded black metallic foil sculptures, cast from tree roots and branches, converse with handmade translucent paper, yielding a suspended realm of shadow and light. Evoking a celestial theatre, the work invites viewers to wander beneath an atmospheric canopy where darkness and luminosity converge, prompting reflection on otherness, transformation, and regeneration.
