Emma Talbot’s works emerge from reflections on the transience of human existence and raise profound questions about our place in the universe. Talbot’s first solo exhibition in Finland invites viewers into vibrant, imagined worlds – a hopeful vision of the future built on sustainability, creativity, and care.
The exhibition is curated by HAM’s Head of Exhibitions Kati Kivinen.
