Event Description "The interesting thing about nighttime is that we often associate it with the curtailing of our vision. But if you’ve ever stared into the sun, you know too well it’s blinding. It’s the darkness of night that unveils what daytime drowns out, revealing fascinating juxtapositions. From glowing neons and buzzing eateries to endless blue roads and the quiet refuge of coming home. We leave emails unread and stand at the edge of the ocean scrolling through the timeline of our lives. This work explores that space between dusk and dawn, when we reclaim our time, our freedom, and ourselves." - Katherine Kennedy
