THURSDAY OCT 29TH THRU SATURDAY NOVEMBER 28TH 2009, with opening reception from 7 pm to 9 pm.
Coralina will be presenting a series of emotionally charged and thought provocking images in this powerful show curated by Samuel Kho.
Artist's Statement:
Images of what happens to God and His feelings when he is not nurtured... and the people that make this happen.
The need for God to be surrounded and be fed by love and faith in order to Be God. The sadness it delivers him. The prayers God has for us.
Images of these people that cannot nurture God anymore. Their loss. The reasons why they are perishing due to lack of faith.
His prayers for us. His last one... is the saddest one and yet, still filled with hope.
