A Shell, A Peel, A Pause

A Shell, A Peel, A Pause is a three person exhibition featuring works by Miguel Caba, An Hà, and Vivian Tran. The minimal, poetic, and rhythmic title gestures toward sites of protection, transfiguration, and stillness, among other possibilities. Drawing from familiar, everyday objects, imagery, and iconography, the artists breathe life into the mundane.

Caba’s wallpapers depict their grandmother’s distant home, the paintings bridge distance yet exist at a moment paused as their facade slips away. Tran’s wall collage wraps around the interior and stitches disparate narratives together through their horizon lines. Hà reanimates byproducts that are in the periphery of the everyday, echoing past narratives.

The works offer familiar space for daydreaming, inviting viewers to reconsider what might exist beyond the horizon.
