Monument at Minnesota Street Project, curated by Ajit Chauhan
On View At Creativity Explored
Komorebi, a Japanese word without direct English translation, captures the quiet beauty of sunlight filtering through leaves — a fleeting moment where light and shadow meet. This exhibition brings together works that explore subtle rhythms of pattern and the spaces between clarity and obscurity. Like its namesake, Komorebi invites a closer look and a deeper attention to the world around us.
