“Chaos is merely order waiting to be deciphered.” – Jose Saramago
It’s inevitable these days to encounter something tumultuous. At times, our problems feel as if they are piling up and waiting to tip. Entropy runs from the psyche of one person to another, but therein lies a certain peace that comes about accepting the presence of all the madness happening. Amidst all the chaos, we take comfort in the little things that help us stop and breathe.
“Solace in Chaos” is a two-man exhibition by Renee Avila and Steven Natal, chronicling their interpretations of finding reprieve amidst the furor of everyday life.
Show opens on June 10, 2021.
