A heartfelt group show curated by Tegan Iversen.
My place in this weird world.
What's important to me, what makes me feel happy & loved?
Tell me a heartwarming story. I love reflecting on the nice experiences I've had so far. I am still growing every day & learning so much.
I try to listen to my heart, but sometimes my heart feels broken.
My heart hurts.
I know it will feel better again, we will all be okay again.
Looking to nature, enjoying the small, simple things & trying to keep connections & a strong community. I have such an immense love for my family & friends.
Attempting to bring back my happy heart or at least make it feel a little less heavy during difficult times.
