Artist Talk with Erika Rosales

Join artist Erika Rosales for tea and gallery talk on her current exhibit Primorial Echoes on Saturday, December 20 at 1:30pm. The gallery talk will take place on the second floor mezzanine gallery at Arts + Literature Laboratory, on the final day of this exhibit.

This concept emphasizes the transformation of a fundamental essence into individual existing forms, highlighting the connection between the divine origin and its physical existence. It is an invitation to explore our reality beyond the physical and embrace realms that exist outside our linear and constrained human perspective.
