Sensed. Unseen is a joint exhibition of five young artists, second-year students in the Department of Textile – Art and Design at the National Academy of Art. They explore the space beyond the visible through emotional, psychological and sensory dimensions. Using textiles, painting and spatial interventions, they direct attention to what cannot be fully captured. Their works communicate between present and past, between real and imaginary, direct and indirect, visible and invisible, presenting the personal stories of their creators. These works form layers of visual and emotional depth, creating a balance between the material and the immaterial.
The exhibition examines the themes of identity, vulnerability, fear and self-knowledge, reflecting the arttists' inner searches and reminds us of those categories of human psyche we sense without seeing, of those invisible states that become a mirror where we meet with ourselves.
