Exhibition Judge: Lenin DelSol

In an age of digital connection and physical distance, how do we capture and portray what makes us most human? What does it mean to be human in this moment and how can art portray this?

Through figure and portrait, artists have long explored the complexity of human experience. Our vulnerabilities, connections, contradictions, and resilience all captured in a gesture, in a face.
