Exhibition Abstract
Childhood's fleeting and sweet verses, woven with gentle innocence, form a tapestry of memories that time inevitably reclaims. The attempt to conceal with diminutive hands, coupled with the revelation of secrets through playful naivety, creates an enchanting symphony of joy and mirth within the embrace of cherished terms. However, as the shadows of adulthood draw near, bringing with them the intricacies of the world and impending commitments and self-discoveries that are not that light anymore, innocence often slips beyond our reach. With hearts immersed in nostalgia, there is a profound yearning to rediscover the simplicity of a bygone embrace, to grasp its quintessence once more. The desire to reconnect with that transitory past, where the timeless game of "peekaboo" persists, becomes a poignant pursuit. It serves as a conduit to the delicate panorama of childhood, and the prolonged yearning to apprehend its essence remains ever-present, although now all grown up.
