Margot Samel presents Trauerspiele, Mariann Metsis’ first U.S. solo exhibition. Drawing from the concept of "mourning play," Metsis’ new oil paintings evoke grief and performance through recurring figures—actors, animals, and haunting symbols. The works suggest cyclical narratives where loss, memory, and emotional resonance intertwine on canvases marked by erasure and revision, echoing the complex process of mourning and the persistence of unresolved histories.
