Hours of Light – Paintings by British Artist Ian McKeever

Without Losing Balance – Ceramic Sculpture by Kaat Pauwels
There seems to be something innate in us that craves a sense of order. This strange universe we live in has a way of constantly reminding us that we are not in control, that the unexpected can happen at any time. Making sense of it gives us that small satisfaction that things are “ok”, u
