Resonances: An Interdisciplinary Exhibition by Heydoo Hedayati
Resonances is an interdisciplinary exhibition by Heydoo Hedayati that reflects on his personal exploration of pure presence, where there is no urge to become, only to be.
This multi-layered project unfolds through an immersive soundscape, an artist talk, and a display of selected photographs which focus on moments of solitude where the boundaries between self and surroundings dissolve. With this lens, the seemingly mundane become instances imbued with wonder and possibility.
The exhibition invites audiences to reconnect with the simplicity of being and savor moments of stillness as gateways to understanding both ourselves and the world around us.
