"Our bodies are comprised mostly of water. Connecting to water as an element means connecting to a large part of who we are. Metaphorically speaking, we become the Reservoir that gathers, embodies and ultimately channels our innermost truths."
In this exhibition Reservoir, Jacky Cheng and Sarah Thornton-Smith dive headlong into journeys of personal meditations, leaning into and reflecting on water's symbolic gestures and elements of culture, tradition and safe keeping.
