Testimonials

There was something about the piece I bought that made me feel seen. I didn’t expect it to move me so deeply, it felt like a mirror of what I was going through.
— Sickle Cell Patient, Houston
I walked through the exhibit and felt like I was walking through someone’s soul. It wasn’t just visual, it was spiritual.
— Exhibition Visitor, London
