The exhibition’s title, Blue Hour, refers to the time of evening that immediately precedes twilight, when the little remaining sunlight scatters across the sky, creating a precious blue color. This ephemeral time is one of transition, where the world seems to hold its breath, suspended in a liminal space brimming with possibility. It also serves as a potent metaphor for transformation. The emerging artists in this exhibition draw inspiration from the magic of the blue hour, capturing its elusive beauty and inviting viewers to embrace the infinite potential that lies within the in-between.
