The visual journey proposed here reveals the remarkable timelessness of the viewer's gaze while emphasising both the similarities and differences between ancient and modern perceptions of universal themes such as the environment, the divine, and death. Ultimately, this exhibition invites viewers to perceive art as a mirror of society, and promptes reflection on our relationship with gaze and identity – both individual and collective.
