Engage in a conversation around key themes such as 'natural ecology,' 'environmental changes,' and 'artist identity.' Together, we will explore the role of visual art in the conflict between human existence and the transformation of nature."

At the present age of globalization, can we imagine that abstract, a widely used artistic language, can be used as a method to provoke a collective spiritual resonance that transcends identity or belief?

When modernity has destroyed the peace of mind and social trust; When an individual falls in trauma, the haze of memory lingers; When free will is imprisoned, self-doubt and self-deception dominate the spiritual world, what can art do?
