The exhibition focuses on emotions amid the tension between multiple contemporary crises and an increasingly  polarised political climate. It responds to a situation in which systemic extraction, political manipulation, and enforced self-repression collide with the basic need for fulfilment, happiness, and hope.

The artworks on display reflect on the formation of emotional maturity through upbringing, education and  social norms. They explore ways how anxiety can be addressed, empathy fostered, loss overcome and hostile forces resisted. Moreover, they articulate the urgency of collective healing, mutual care, and sustaining hope in uncertain times—while recognising quiet resilience, small everyday gestures that surface in the cracks of the system.
