Marina Kappos: Piercing the Veil draws on walks through Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, where sculptures of mourning women standing watch over tombs became central figures — veiled, spectral forms that emerge and dissolve into one another, suspended between worlds. Grief is reframed not as loss alone but as a space where remembrance, transformation, and interconnection coexist. Kappos's lifelong experience as an identical twin informs her understanding of perception as fluid and shared across unseen dimensions. Recurring keyhole-like forms and mirrored figures suggest portals into altered states of awareness, boundaries between realities momentarily thin and permeable.
