Delve into Light and Darkness
Delve into lightness & dark with this month’s visual art exhibit
This month Femina Potens invites you to reflect on the psyche of the 21st century. Our latest visual art exhibit “Beyond Darkness and Light” illuminates the beautifully stained parts of the human condition. We are thrilled to have the artwork of Sonya Genel and Sallie Smith to guide us on this exploration into the travels we all experience from dark to light and finally healing and closure. In addition, this month’s window installation features work by the talented, Poetry Store Poet, Silvi Alcivar. Sallie Smith provides raw and often foreboding photography that portrays the loss of self and ensuing anxieties in a post-mythological age. Smith’s bold images of contemporary fragmented individuals are complimented by the powerful and emotive paintings, drawings and prints of Sonya Genel. Showing struggle and process, Genel’s contorted and engulfed figures give light to the existence of the psychologically tormented.
