“Play Away”, an exhibition by Kelly Anna

In an era dominated by polished digital personas, “Play Away” champions authentic self-expression. Kelly Anna’s art simultaneously explores curiosity, disorder, and unbridled creativity,

while her highly distinctive silhouetted figures, strong and alive, manifest in multiple formats to celebrate the creative force within us all.

For “Play Away, ” we invited guests to ignite their playful spirit and embark on a journey of joy and curiosity, to step beyond the ordinary, embrace life’s challenges, and,  through bold and continuous exploration, uncover profound self-understanding.
