Jurors’ Statement
“This exhibition celebrates the delicate intersection of magic, movement, nature, and light. It's where the ephemeral becomes tangible through artistic vision. Each small work invites the viewer to slow down and notice the quiet transformations that often pass unseen. The selected pieces shimmer with an inner vitality, capturing fleeting moments of wonder that reveal how beauty often resides in impermanence. Together, they create a luminous dialogue between the seen and the felt. A gentle spell cast through art.”
