This work belongs to the series “Inopia Beyond”, where these creatures look into our world from their own — from imagination into reality — through the connecting window that art is able to create. In this series, each Inopia is represented with a creative tool; in this case, a jar filled with white paint, symbolizing the often underestimated power of the untouched areas within a work of art — the creative potential of “nothingness.”

The classic idea of a gift can easily dissolve when we think about what can truly be considered one. A moment, a story, a friendship, or family — among countless others — are nothing but gifts that wrap themselves again each time we joyfully open them in order to enjoy them once more.
