The adult world requires us to be rational, efficient, and measured, but imagination remains and continues to develop outside the system. When we become adults, we are lulled by the limited time available and it seems that we are limited by time and opportunities to imagine.

 

In fact, those infinite things, which are completely our rights and belong freely, purely and untouched by capital, we must try to forget from repeated neglect.

​

In fact, in our youth, when the sky was not just blue and the clouds were not just wisps of water vapor, we would readily see shapes that were not there.

​

In fact, the habit of building narratives from the void to discover other worlds in these vague silhouettes is the nature of all of us as humans.

 

Theresia's series of works in this exhibition departs from industrial objects that are repeated to become pure imagination that is free and unbound between us and the existing world. This practice will bring us to millions of possibilities about what, how, and why the domestic objects we encounter every day also hold untapped possibilities.

 

However, can we; in our adult bodies, recreate a world beyond the boundaries of industrial logic, where chocolate flows like a river and candy can be grown like flowers as in the Willy Wonka film that can give us another vehicle where objects do not have to be subject to the system of use and production. Perhaps, the freedom to imagine is the only thing we can still enjoy as adults in this clumsy world. We can find beauty in everything in the world only if we realize the power to see it that way. Of course, according to our desires.
