"The exhibition HOME HERE explores the idea of home, memory, identity, and the influence of personal and social experiences on our understanding of comfort and belonging. Each artist approaches this theme differently, using various materials and personal narratives. What I found most interesting was how “home” was not presented as a simple physical space, but as something emotional, psychological, and sometimes even uncomfortable.

The first work that stood out to me was by Pat Lay. Her sculpture combines ceramic forms with computer parts such as circuit boards and mechanical elements. The artwork is arranged on a grid-like wall, and the objects seem to float or move across the surface. The contrast between the organic clay shapes and the technological components suggests a connection between the human body and machines. To me, this work shows how technology has become part of our daily lives and even part of our identity. It made me think about how the line between human and machine is becoming less clear, and how our dependence on technology affects the way we live and communicate."
--Jeong Woo Kim
-----------
‘Transcendent Landscape’ by Pat Lay is a sculpture that features a large board made of ceramic squares, with several other ceramic pieces and readymade objects. Electronic designs, in the likeness of the ones that can could be found on motherboards and other technological pieces, are engraved on some of the ceramic pieces—as well as real pieces of computer parts used.

In our current modern age, technology and its capabilities have drastically changed in such a short span of time—as well as their involvement in the everyday life of an average person. Over the years, we have become much more dependent on technology for many of the things we do in day to day life. Search engines, AI and the Internet make a huge impact on our lives, on our environment, and the way we see the world." -- Camila Gonzalez
