In this exhibition, the artist reinterprets the symbolic figure of angels through the transparency and fragrance of soap, visually expressing the delicate boundary between presence and absence.

Visitors will have the opportunity to rediscover the familiar yet unseen entity of angels through soap sculptures, offering a unique experience that stimulates the imagination.
