Non-Obvious Connections

Connections are a process. They do not have an end, but they have results. Every encounter creates the possibility of something new. A conversation becomes a friendship. A shared idea becomes a project. A coincidence becomes a turning point.

Collage is built on this principle. It brings together fragments that were never intended to exist side by side. Once they meet, new meanings emerge.

"While bringing these works together, I searched for both contrast and similarity. Sometimes the connection appears through colour. Sometimes through composition, rhythm or atmosphere. These relationships are not always immediately visible. Yet once discovered, they can feel as if they were always meant to exist" — Kateryna Voloshyna

Architecture appears throughout the exhibition as a reminder of the connections that shape everyday life. Buildings bring together people who may never meet, yet remain connected through shared walls, streets and neighbourhoods. Cities are built from countless overlapping stories, encounters and relationships. If collage were a city, it might be Lisbon. A place where cultures, languages and histories exist side by side, creating unexpected combinations and new forms of coexistence. Like a collage, the city is shaped by layers that continuously interact with one another.

Everything around us is the result of countless connections.
