By showcasing functional art and design objects, the exhibition reflects the evolving dialogue within our contemporary art scene, where the interplay between form and function challenges conventional perceptions of art’s role in our daily lives. Each piece in the exhibition demonstrates how art can infuse the mundane with meaning, prompting a re-evaluation of the objects that surround us and their potential to enrich our daily experiences.
