Simone Casati
Title: SEE THE UNSEEN: From "Your atoms don't actually care about you"Description:
See the Unseen is one of a more comprehensive collection of drawings titled:“Your Atoms don't actually care about you". Starting from a simple and perfect geometric element such as the circle, the artist wants to explore different arrangements giving life to geometric shapes and natural elements to highlight the fact that our world is an aggregation of the same matter/energies in constant transformation. “See the unseen" wants to emphasize the idea that the space in between or the holes in a non perfect geometry are not a weakness instead a chance of opening a window into a world that is as vast, beautiful, and mysterious as the universe itself.

He also applies lessons learned in all aspects of his work to find new ways to express design ideas.
Elvis Chau
Title: GREEN SCREEN MANDescription:
Modern life is stressful. We each have distinct hardships to overcome, but no person faces the suffering of modern living alone. In that same vein, I’d like to use a green screen head to show there is no the delineation between you, me, or another. Especially when it comes to the universal experience of going through a down moment in life.

Miguel Emerico
Title: CONTINUUMDescription:
Life is comprised of memories. As each memory begins to take shape, it creates an experience of life that layers itself onto our persona. Just like a piece of torn paper, each memory or life experience is unpredictable in form and texture. And there are gaps between each memory, causing our persona, an coalescence of past and present experiences, to appear like a piece of unfinished work. It is these gaps, the spaces suspended between each memory - below, above and next to each other - that give us room to pause, reflect, and grow into another dimension of our being. The space between our experiences is what ensures our journey, like this piece, will never end.

Rick Feinman
Title: SERENITY (Serenity in Black, White, Red and Blue Line)Description:
The artwork symbolizes pure emotions viewed as layers of colored lines. Each colour corresponds to an emotion and each shape symbolizes the intensity of that emotion. There are four coloured lines Black, White, Red Blue each representing a different emotion interpreted by the viewer. The painting is divided into three sections each containing three pairs of shapes. The space between the line, shape and the background is created using various hues of blue which signify serenity and stability within the composition.

Barbara Vaccaro
Title: OpenInstagram: barbara_art_studio
Description:
We are often focused on the views we see through the windows, but what about the windows themselves? A symbolic object that, out of contest, changes its meaning. Let’s reverse the use of the window and try to look inward instead of out. Here starts the journey through my Space in Between.
A window as human mind, blurred glass which makes difficult seeing clearly and understand what is beyond. The blue frame (color often associated with melancholia and sadness) generates a fantastical vision of nature. Everything is in action, floating, dancing, in a frame that can’t contain such imagination in a triumph of colors.
The title, Open, is an invitation to enter a world, alien to us or not, with the hope of better understanding it and to feel the rise of optimism that makes anything possible.
