Somewhere, Elsewhere
2026
Catwalk Gallery | Harrison, NY
MFA First Year Exhibition

“When you awaken an observation, a certainty, a hope, they are already struggling somewhere, elsewhere, in another form.”
(Édouard Glissant, Poetics of Relation)
Identity does not stand alone, it shimmers in contact. It is made in the criss-crossing: of bodies, geographies, memories, fantasies. Borrowing from Glissant’s poetics of errantry, Somewhere, Elsewhere moves as a deliberate wandering: not away from origin but through it, not toward a fixed arrival but into relation. The self is rhizomatic, branching, braided. The past is not behind us but alongside us, humming; the future is in the air, not ahead but pressing inward. Objects gather as if in quiet conspiracy. Meaning accumulates in connection, through material and remembrance. Nothing is singular or sealed. To exist is to be porous, to be in flux, to make and unmake; arriving somewhere, we remain elsewhere.
