The exhibition PHOENIX OUT OF THE ASHES February 28 - April 6 (facets of transformations) is an artistic exploration of the themes of rebirth, renewal and metamorphosis. By combining different media and artistic approaches, a multifaceted picture of the Phoenix motif, which is considered a symbol of eternal renewal in many cultures, is drawn. Beginning with the area that symbolizes decay and the end, the works reflect the inevitable transience. A diversity of materials such as broken glass, ash or rusted metal are used to reflect the fragility of life and the cycle of decay in nature and in human creations. The exhibition is divided into three thematic areas:
ASH TO ASH
Guided by the darkness of decay, the exhibition transports the viewer into a world of renewal and hope. Bright colors and dynamic forms in the artworks symbolize the resurrection from the ashes. They radiate an energy that encourages visitors to recognize the potential for new beginnings and transformation in their own lives.
