We live inside layers. Some we slip into like garments, chosen to shield or to adorn. Others form slowly, pressed upon us by time, memory, and circumstance. Some layers protect, some conceal, some weigh heavy, and some allow us to emerge anew. These coverings whether worn, built, or carried deep within become second skins, shaping how we move, how we are seen, and how we come to know ourselves.
Second Skins dwells in the spaces between what is shown and what is hidden, between the outer shell and the inner life. Here, clothing may act as symbol or disguise, yet so too might shelter, ritual, inheritance, or the quiet traces of emotion we carry forward. A second skin might be armor against the world, or a veil of fragility; it may hold memory close or allow us to imagine transformation.
The works in this exhibition invite reflection on embodiment and vulnerability, on protection and revelation. They ask us to consider the boundaries that hold us, the thresholds we pass through, and the textures of our own becoming.
In these layered forms sometimes delicate, sometimes bold we are reminded that to be human is to inhabit many skins at once. To move through the world is to negotiate coverings both visible and unseen, and to discover, again and again, what lies beneath and what remains just beyond reach.
