We are thrilled to present Tish Alcantara’s first solo exhibition, Wagara: From Kimono to Canvas. Tish’s interest in Japanese-style patterns that adorn kimonos inspired her to bring her own artistic spin to the millennia-old tradition. In this exhibition, she explores storytelling through creating patterns.

From lovers entwined in blossoms of maru mon to mother-and-child works filled with sakura blossoms, each piece is imbued with intricate patterns with hidden meanings.
