"Gazes to the South" is an artistic investigation into how light and color shape ways of understanding the world. The South appears here not as a fixed place, but as an experience: a way of seeing, feeling, and remembering. The southern light, intense, direct, ever-changing, transforms space into vibration; color ceases to be a mere resource and becomes a language.

The project brings together painting, woodcuts, screen prints, drawings, and poetic text as a spectrum of expressions that respond to one another. Each technique proposes a distinct way of articulating: painting expands and breathes; printmaking condenses and preserves memory; drawing sustains structure; words open an intimate territory. Together, these works aim to present a plural South, rich in nuances, where multiple cultures and sensibilities coexist, often unnoticed or undervalued.

Gazes to the South proposes a mode of attention: pausing to observe what vibrates and endures. In that tension between light and shadow, between gesture and trace, the work becomes a place of recognition, a space to see the diverse, the persistent, the living.
