THE PROMISED WORLD

Do you remember sitting in a classroom at the age of seven, with the sun shining through the window? You looked out the window as the teacher’s voice faded, your thoughts drifting away with the clouds… We reminisced about our different dreams of the future, both together and individually, and began working on an exhibition called The Promised World. Have our dreams come true, and in what way? In the shared installation art piece on the lower floor of the gallery, we have explored promises and hopes, while on the upper floor, we have continued the theme personally in our own works. As a counterbalance to our personal working processes, we want to work as a group, blowing away pathos and gloom. Bofori consists of four visual artists. We symbolically represent the four cardinal directions and bring forth different aspects that interest our group.
