Prismatic Echoes | //benitez_vogl studio
Inspired by László Moholy-Nagy’s light explorations and Luigi Russolo’s Art of Noises, Prismatic Echoes is an immersive installation merging 3D-printed kinetic sculptures and projections. Intricate moving lattices generate rhythmic, textural soundscapes that evolve with each rotation. Shifting geometric patterns and textile forms serve as dynamic canvases for mapped light and video, casting continuously transforming visuals across surfaces. By fusing digital technology, avant-garde acoustics, raw materiality, and deliberate physical movement, the pieces actively interrogate and reshape their environment.

Light Remains | Meaghan M. Reed
Meaghan M. Reed’s intricate, layered mixed-media artworks in Light Remains emerged from her need to grieve and hold memories close. Within flowers are fragments of family memories, childhood remnants, and relics of time and place; also present are her brother’s own photographs which help to shape a narrative about the fragility and immense value of a life cut short. In the aftermath of loss, language often falters—there is both a silence that settles inside and a restless urge to articulate what feels uncontainable.

Vessels | Kat Francis
Vessels is a body of mixed-media collages and sketchbook pieces that explores the quiet, mutual experiences which shape human life. These works are constructed as vignettes—small, intimate glimpses into everyday life—that reflect the universal way of living, caring, gathering, and being. Using collage and layered materials, Francis builds three-dimensional scenes as memory and observation. These forms hold and protect the moments they contain, pointing to the idea that our daily lives, however ordinary, carry meaning and weight. At a time distinguished by division—across race, class, and ideology—Vessels is an effort to return attention to what connects us.

Shelter as a Human Right | Group Exhibition
Curated by Eric Tuck-Macalla, Shelter as a Human Right explores what it means to be unsheltered, to be under the strain of housing insecurity, and to be a refugee in today’s social climate. This group exhibition features two- and three-dimensional artworks created by artists from the unhoused community that Macalla assists at St. Paul’s UCC in Cleveland, Ohio, as well as Macalla’s own sculptural structures. Visitors will experience emotional representations of home, hearth, and shelter, through the lens of individuals who have experienced this displacement firsthand.

I Say Something About Her Every Time I Speak | Nora Gast
Nora Gast creates a moment of reflection amid great change in her experimental glass and mixed-media installation, I Say Something About Her Every Time I Speak. Incorporating nostalgia, memory, and identity in relation to domestic objects, the exhibition investigates the importance of keepsakes, including her father’s socks and her old backyard swing set. She recreates these objects to connect her to younger versions of herself, nested in the present. Gast states, “In times of uncertainty, objects around us provide comfort, allow us to access memories, and are a reminder of who we are”.
