EMBRACE: The things that unite us.

Interactive installation of multi-sensory soft wall sculptures responding to social division.

Conceived in the wake of rising social and political divisiveness and the diminishing art of civil discourse, the artist asks: Can the universal language of the embrace step in to bridge the divide?

Visitors were invited to breach the 4th gallery wall to touch, squeeze or embrace the tactile pieces, incorporating scent, sound and responsive light.

Facilitated events invited visitors to pause together for an ‘embrace meditation’ and consider the hurts that unite all people with one another.
