EXHIBITION 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘴, 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 is about the relationships of people and the way people make connections. The series consists of 70 artworks through the use of graphical notation and material engagement with found objects. Each of the artworks are sized to resemble name cards. The inscribed notations could be a message or something to be shared. The intention of 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘴, 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 is to create a sense of preservation of a moment or an encounter as one would when receiving a dedication. 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘴, 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 was conceived as a reimagination of another work with the same name of Hungarian composer, Gyorgy Kurtag, who is considered to be amongst the most important today. Kurtag's work materialised in the form of a set of small miniature pieces written as musical 'letters'.

Each of the 70 artworks has original music embedded in them accessible through a QR-code during the exhibition.
