"More Than Once" examines the themes of repetition, resilience, and transformation through the lens of the everyday. The works engage with objects and imprints that carry the weight of familiarity, drawing attention to what is often dismissed or overlooked. By recontextualizing these elements, the boundaries between the ordinary and the profound are blurred, inviting reflection on cycles of use, disposal, and renewal.Repetition becomes a method of exploration, where each iteration reveals new layers of meaning. The process of reworking these materials speaks to the persistence inherent in both artistic and societal practices, while subtly critiquing systems of excess and disposability. Here, repetition is not simply the act of duplication, but an opportunity for transformation, offering a nuanced perspective on the potential for renewal within everyday life."More Than Once" opens a dialogue on the tension between potential and realized form, where the act of repetition becomes a method of discovery rather than mere duplication. "More Than Once" highlights the persistence embedded in creative and social cycles, revealing beauty and meaning within the very act of continuous creation and re-creation.
