It Didn’t Go Away brings together artists whose practices engage with what time, change, and transformation fail to erase. Across painting, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, and material-based processes, the works in this exhibition speak to persistence — of pain, memory, belief, joy, and human presence.
Rather than offering resolution or closure, these artworks acknowledge endurance. Scars remain visible, lines hold despite fragility, spaces retain memory, faith adapts without disappearing, and joy continues to surface even within seriousness. Each artist approaches this idea from a distinct position, yet their works share a quiet understanding: some experiences do not fade — they settle, shift form, and become part of how we live.
This exhibition resists the comfort of easy healing or final meanings. Instead, it invites viewers to reflect on what stays with us — emotionally, physically, and culturally. It Didn’t Go Away is not about what is lost, but about what remains, and how we learn to carry it.
