Second Skin: Exploring Adornment as an Extension of Self invites viewers to discover how objects worn on the body express personal stories, cultural lineage, and intimate narratives.


Through an array of materials and technical approaches, artists in the exhibition bridge fine craft traditions with contemporary perspectives, revealing how adornment becomes a visual language that shapes identity. Each work is an invitation to reflect on the personal journey behind its creation, fostering a deeper connection between maker and viewer.
