Upbeat Artworks: Mother’s Day Meet + Greet

Things We Overlook invites viewers to pause, observe, and reconsider the unnoticed elements of everyday life. This exhibition explores the subtle beauty that often escapes our attention—those fleeting moments, and quiet details that constantly surround us but are frequently ignored. From the weathered surface of a forgotten object to the ephemeral play of light and shadow in familiar spaces, this body of work challenges our tendency to rush through life without truly experiencing it. It encourages a deeper engagement with the world around us, urging us to slow down and appreciate the quiet marvels in plain sight.

Things We Overlook is a celebration of stillness, intimacy, and the profound elegance found in the unnoticed corners of the everyday. It reminds us that beauty is often right before our eyes, waiting to be experienced.
