Veil of Perception

What we see is not necessarily what is. The world as we perceive it is filtered through the lens of experience, culture, and the limits of human cognition. Veil of Perception is an exhibition that interrogates the fragile boundary between appearance and reality, the visible and the concealed, the known and the unknowable. Immanuel Kant distinguished between the phenomenon—the world as it appears to us—and the noumenon, the ultimate reality that remains beyond our grasp. This exhibition invites artists to explore that threshold, unraveling how personal and collective perceptions are shaped by social constructs, memory, and ideology. Through layered compositions, fragmented narratives, and illusory imagery, these works gesture toward a reality that is always just out of reach.
