Snow Drops

Snowdrops is a multidisciplinary exhibition highlighting the work of six contemporary artists dealing with themes of remembrance, resilience, and renewal. Snowdrops  features works by Katsuyo Aoki, Serwan Baran, Debra Cartwright, Yashua Klos, Eden Auerbach Ofrat, and Kazumi Tanaka.

Extract of snowdrop flowers has been used since ancient times to counteract memory loss and traumatic injuries to the nervous system. The plant's poisonous bulbs procreate underground and bloom, through frost, in late winter. According to a Greek myth, Persephone, the goddess of spring and nature, was forced by her uncle Hades to inhabit the underworld for the fall and winter months, while nature withered, mourning her absence. Each spring she returned to Earth, bringing snowdrops with her. The exhibition is a meditation on death, growth, and transformation.
