Floating
Gerald ChukwumaFLOATING, 2025Mixed media261.6 x 571.5 cm | 103 x 225 in // 261.6 x 190.5 cm (each) | 103 x 75 inIn FLOATING, the human figure wanders – not lost, but suspended – in a quiet choreography between realms. Above, around, and within, luminous entities drift like ancestral spirits or digital pulses – barely visible, yet profoundly influential. They evoke the unseen architectures that govern us: spiritual energies in African cosmology, algorithms in the modern world – forces that shape us without command or contact.This is the paradox of now: while grounded in physical form, we move through an atmosphere thick with invisible systems - ancestral, celestial, or coded. Like the spirits believed to accompany every soul in African thought, or the algorithms that silently trace our digital lives, these presences tilt our choices, bend our emotions, and script our narratives.FLOATING invites a universal reflection: Are we the authors of our path, or are we being gently moved by something beyond our perception – something older, spiritual, or newly digital? The work stands at that threshold, merging the mystical with the modern, the grounded with the ghostly, the local with the global.And then, quietly, the reverse side of the piece reveals its final whisper. A subtle aesthetic – not loud but intentional – suggests that the surface of things, like people, often speaks more boldly than the depth within. What is hidden, though softer, may carry the truer weight. This unseen beauty challenges us to look twice – to search beyond appearances for the source of our movement, our meaning, and our being...........we float on ! -

Makiko Harris
Glass Ceiling 2, 2025
Laser-cut acrylic, chain, LED, and hand-welded steel
400 x 200 x 200 cm | 157 1/2 x 78 3/4 x 78 3/4 in
In her work, Japanese-American artist Makiko Harris explores themes such as hybridity, ambiguous identity, the precariousness and performance of femininity, agency and power. In her installation “Glass Ceiling 2“, made of hand-welded chains and reflective acrylic, she explores fragmented identity and the constructed self. The multi-layered approaches suggest fragmentary thinking, fluid boundaries and the blurring of spatial boundaries.
