Exhibition: 'The Inner Child' by Nahom Ghirmay

About the Event

This exhibition is an exploration centered around the notion of inner child, releasing the serene, unburdened core that resides within us. Moreover, it’s an opportunity to spotlight the profound connection that exists between our inner selves and nature.

“During dark times imagining peaceful scenes brings me a sense of hope and comfort. Through this series, my aim was to capture and recreate these serene scenes,” says Ghirmay.

In today’s fast-paced and often demanding world, reconnecting with our inner child becomes a source of solace and inspiration.

A visual artist based in Seattle, Ghirmay found his way there in 2010 after an extensive immigration journey from Eritrea through Sudan and South America. These diverse experiences have deeply influenced his artistic perspective, reshaping his concept of ‘home’.

His work explores the complexities of identity and emotional experiences through a range of mediums. Central to his artistic vision is a desire to capture our shared humanity, inspired by the stories and sentiments of those around him. “Through my work, I hope to evoke emotions and experiences that resonate with people from all walks of life.”

By sharing his art, Ghirmay hopes to cultivate empathy, understanding, and to create a space for meaningful dialogue.

Join us for the unveiling of this exhibition during the Pioneer Square First Thursday Art Walk on May 2nd, 2024, from 12pm to 8pm. The exhibition will continue during gallery hours, Thursday through Saturday, from 12pm to 5pm, and by appointment.
