This fifteen-year project by Carmine Groe (2007–2022) explores the boundaries of identity through the lens of street portraiture. Opening with a vibrant colour "threshold" that leads into twenty-eight black-and-white works, the collection visualizes Groe’s own poetry: a reminder that beneath the surface, we are all resilient, fragile, and profoundly the same. To mark the opening, the first 20 guests will receive a complimentary handmade artist’s zine.
