The Hunted featured in The (un)COMFORT(able) ZONE Exhibition

The (un)COMFORT(able) ZONE seeks to explore the personal and universal concepts of safe havens, personal space and comfort zones. Each one of these terms defines a psychological region or behavioral state within which one operates in an anxiety-free or neutral state-of mind. Often these feelings are associated with the familiar, constant or steady associations to home, family, kinship and recurring tradition. This type of mental conditioning causes a person to create and operate false boundaries, creating an unfounded sense of security. This domain or personal territory is not infallible and, at times, can and will be breached thus creating the “uncomfortable zone.” Whether this removal of sanctuary is voluntary or involuntary, its affects and lingering residuals are immediately apparent. So what happens in the void of such space, refuge, or repetition? What are some of the factors that cause this interruption or break in the uniformity or continuity of hearth and home? How do we, as individuals, react to this invasion and removal of personal security? How do the timeless entities of memory and loss impact these changes? How do these changes affect our relationships with family members and loved ones? How is the essence of these emotions translated into material form? This exhibition seeks to answer these questions and more.
