STRENGTH AS PRESENCE

Opening September 20, 2025, 6:00 pm - 11:00 pmDebut on Nit de l’Art — Palma’s iconic night of art and culture


This exhibition explores presence not as a fixed state, but as a way of knowing — felt through movement, memory, and relationship to place. 

In Bianca Lee Vasquez’s work, the female body is not a symbol but a sensor: a receptive, entangled vessel moving through natural landscapes with attunement and sensitivity.

Vera Edwards’ jungle paintings extend this terrain — lush, atmospheric spaces where nature is not backdrop but co-actor, alive with its own presence.

Together, the works propose a feminized vision of strength — rooted, fluid, and responsive. Blurring the boundaries between land and limb, image and memory, presence and impermanence, the artists offer a quiet resistance: one that listens, stays, and transforms.

FROM WITHIN
Alexandria Coe

Here we are reimagining the autonomy of women—not only over the body, but also over our pursuit of pleasure in the everyday. Audrey Lorde speaks of the Erotic as potential left unfulfilled, subdued, and quieted—much like the way women’s bodies have historically been represented: with conditions, limitations, and constraint.

How much of this spills into our everyday lives, where we cautiously invest in our passions, never taking up too much space?

Here, we consider the power of finding joy in the ordinary—letting creativity blossom to its full capacity. Working with a sense of play and simplicity, we strip away preexisting connotations of the body, developing a new softness of gaze. A gaze that is neither female nor male, but entirely our own.

The intimacy of the works invites us to re-imagine the home space. Once a symbol of women’s service, it now becomes a place of possibility. Breaching the boundaries of walls that once confined, women are reclaiming home as a site of inventiveness and expression—a true 'room of one’s own.' 

Stripped back and minimal, the artwork within the space acts as an invitation—an opening toward possibility, a chance to re-write, re-draw, and re-view womanhood as our own story.

About Alexandria Coe
  

Through delicate hand-drawn studies, Alexandria Coe reclaims the nude from the weight of history and the male gaze — rendering bodies tender yet unwavering, unguarded yet strong. An invitation to see anew.

These drawings function as acts of inquiry—an open ended practice—in which we are forever in a state of self-learning and discovery. 


Where mark-making — spontaneous and unlaboured, natural and unforced — becomes a quiet rebellion against limitation.


Drawing can be the silent act that ignites dialogue. Alexandria Coe works from within, with slowness and clarity — redrawing pleasure as essence. Alexandria Coe draws not to define the body, but to unburden it — to let softness speak where silence once stood.

Alexandria Coe’s forms are not loud or aggressive, rather vulnerable and tender, yet unwavering in their presence with strength.








<<The very word erotic comes from the Greek word eros, the personification of love in all its aspects - born of Chaos, and personifying creative power and harmony. When I speak of the erotic, then, I speak of it as an assertion of the life force of women; of that creative energy empowered, the knowledge and use of which we are now reclaiming in our language, our history, our dancing, our loving, our work, our lives.>>


Audrey Lorde

Her practice is a gentle insistence: that beauty lives in the unforced, the unspoken, the unseen moments we choose to honour.

BECOMING
Lizel Strydom
Koen Lybaert


Becoming is a meditation on the self as scattered, layered, and incomplete. In a world where we exist across screens and timelines, the idea of a unified identity slips further from reach. We are not whole—we are fragments, constantly reshaped by digital life, memory, and the gaze of others. The works in this show hold space for that fragmentation. They are unfinished, frayed at the edges, beautiful not in their completeness, but in their openness. Here, beauty is not polished—it is raw, interrupted, in process. We all live between image and absence, presence and profile, the digital and the physical. Becoming resists resolution. Instead, it offers a quiet permission to remain undefined—to be multiple, broken, yet always evolving.

About Lizel Strydom

About Koen Lybaert



Intersection opens with Becoming, a dialogue between the tactile ceramic vessels of Koen Lybaert and the evocative, needle-marked surfaces of Lizel Strydom. Together, their practices explore transformation, fracture, and renewal—works that hold tension between vulnerability and strength, control and surrender. Becoming is a meditation on identity as fragmented and unfinished—beautiful not in wholeness, but in its raw, evolving openness.

With these textile works, multi-disciplinary artist Lizel Strydom explores femininity, movement, freedom and nostalgia. As she weaves intricate and complex tapestries that are imagined into labyrinthine compositions, her practice weaves itself into other pathways of her experience, where her surroundings become installation and her expression of self becomes performative.
Fractured forms pieced together, where breakage becomes beauty and imperfection becomes story — reminding us that in what is unfinished and unguarded lies authenticity, a deeper kind of beauty  — especially in a world of fabricated realities where social media masks the truth. Imperfection is what makes us real.


POETIC INSPIRATION

Soon I Become Myself
by May Sarton

Now I become myself. It's taken
Time, many years and places;
I have been dissolved and shaken,
Worn other people's faces,

Run madly, as if Time were there,
Terribly old, crying a warning,
"Hurry, you will be dead before--"
(What? Before you reach the morning?
Or the end of the poem is clear?
Or love safe in the walled city?)

Now to stand still, to be here,
Feel my own weight and density!
The black shadow on the paper
Is my hand; the shadow of a word
As thought shapes the shaper
Falls heavy on the page, is heard.

All fuses now, falls into place
From wish to action, word to silence,
My work, my love, my time, my face
Gathered into one intense
Gesture of growing like a plant.

As slowly as the ripening fruit
Fertile, detached, and always spent,
Falls but does not exhaust the root,
So all the poem is, can give,
Grows in me to become the song,
Made so and rooted by love.

Now there is time and Time is young.
O, in this single hour I live
All of myself and do not move.
I, the pursued, who madly ran,
Stand still, stand still, and stop the sun!

Becoming is a meditation on identity as fragmented and unfinished—beautiful not in wholeness, but in its raw, evolving openness.

Lizel Strydom’s canvas becomes a fleshy surface, breathing deeper with every needle pierce—anchored in nostalgia, a linear quest opening up fruitful chambers.
Koen Lybaert is a ceramic artist whose vessels embrace imperfection, transformation, and the quiet dialogue between material and maker. Not merely vessels, but contemplative spaces shaped by both clay and fire, control and surrender.
“This unveiling thread unfolds my personal experience with breast cancer. A tremendous gift that revealed within me a journey of self discovery moving towards the light. Folding myself into the grace of my art practice.”
