In 100 Years explores transformation and renewal.
Presenting a group exhibition, artists are invited to experiment with recycled materials — melting, blending and reshaping them to discover new textures and forms.
The aim is to give discarded materials a new life that feels both beautiful and meaningful.
‘The quiet journey from imperfection to wholeness. I believe nothing ever truly disappears; it simply changes form — like a grain of wheat that becomes bread, nourishes us, and through creation returns to nature in a fuller way.’ — Australian-Iranian artist Afsane Rahimian
