This writing serves as a expository text of the thought-process regarding the work generated for the thesis exhibition is love a tender thing?, which was installed in University Art Gallery from April 28th- May 12th, 2018.

Themes of community, sentimentally, interdependency are explored through a lens, which slows down and hones into the overlooked forces of tension and gravity within the misconnections of relationships
