Salty skin

Salty Skin is a solo exhibition at Projektraum 145, in Berlin, in 2021.

Drawing from the mythological figure the mermaid, as a symbol of captivating beauty, longing, and disappointment, this exhibition juxtaposes the fantastical element of mythology with the harsh realities of human relationships. Through painting, sculpture and installations, ‘Salty Skin’ works through the reminiscence of childhood tales, unlucky love and empty promises
