A Glow of Satisfaction

Madeleine Maszk, Pete Hoffecker Mejia, Sarah Newsome, and Sung Eun Park

March 17–28, 2021

Organized by Sung Eun Park, A Glow of Satisfaction explores the experience of an identity crisis by presenting works crafted through the negotiation of multiform cultural identities, corporeal self-expression and the interaction of varied media, colors and forms. The artists in this group exhibition aim to create a space for the viewer to acknowledge and communicate with their diverse experiences.
