In a world where the pace of life often feels exhausting The Softest Place on Earth invites you to pause, breathe, and immerse yourself in a moment of softness. This exhibition, drawing from the principles of phenomenology, explores the subjective experience of softness, acknowledging that our perception of the world is shaped by our lived experiences and internal states. The sun gently kissing your skin, a warm hug after a long day, crawling into bed when you’re utterly exhausted, reading poetry in the park, closing your eyes and being engulfed by beautiful music. For some the softest place on earth might be a physical place, for others its an elusive feeling.
