Curated by OHSH Projects, the group exhibition VESSEL brings together the works of twenty-two artists to explore the myriad ways the vessel is considered and represented as a container: as a symbol of society, as a container of grief, joy, or pain, and as a representation of diversity.
The concept of the vessel, both as a functional object and as a powerful metaphor, has deeply resonated across time, culture, and artistic expression. The artists in this exhibition explore and expand upon the vessel’s symbolic capacity to hold, preserve, and convey human experience—whether through the representation of societal structures, emotional states, or the fragility of existence. Through diverse mediums and perspectives, they reveal how vessels transcend their material forms, embodying the complex interplay of history, memory, and identity. This exhibition not only celebrates the vessel's enduring significance but also challenges us to reflect on the delicate balance within our own lives and societies, much like the vessels that hold our collective experiences.
