Human nature is ambiguous, and life's truths may be impossible to glimpse until the end. Traveling the complex labyrinth of life we encounter many detours and crossroads which impede progress but also lead to realizations. In times of confusion, art can offer direction, and whosoever perseveres will find the answers.
For this exhibition, the museum has chosen eleven artworks from its permanent collection made from 1983 to 2007 by eight artists. These artists use a variety of visual languages and media to present thier unique life experiences, which range from stability to distress, and buried emotions that occasionally surge forth. All works in the exhibition use symbols to make direct spiritual contact and shed light on the ambiguity of human nature.
