A photography exhibition by Juan Carlos Navas [BFA 2007], Vessel takes you on a mystical journey through time and space with black and white photographs and exquisite ceramic vessels that evoke feelings of longing with a jolt of exuberance. The exhibition space, which features thirty photos and more than 300 vessels of various sizes, is arranged in a circular pattern of intertwined photography and ceramics, itself representing a vessel. The simple yet intricate layout aims to offer guests a unique and memorable experience, allowing them to contemplate the work in a setting reminiscent of a ceremonial site. “This work is about my perspective on what is a vessel, amalgams of moments that have filled my experience. That which contains my culture, my pain, the people that surround me, my faith, my attachment, my belonging, my identity, my discovery, my equilibrium,” explained Navas about his show.
