Art has the power to preserve, transform, and reimagine memories, giving them a form that lingers beyond fleeting moments. In Captured in Time, the human experience is distilled into striking visual narratives, where black-and-white bodies serve as timeless vessels, and heads adorned with flowers and old-time devices symbolize the essence of significant life moments.

 

Created by artist Amiel Cagayat, each piece in this collection is an exploration of nostalgia, growth, and the passage of time. The monochromatic bodies, devoid of individual identity, represent the universality of human experiences, allowing viewers to see fragments of their own stories within the artwork. In contrast, the vibrant floral elements breathe life into these figures, symbolizing emotions, dreams, and transformation. Meanwhile, the integration of vintage objects—radios, televisions, and gramophones —acts as a bridge between past and present, evoking a sense of memory, history, and sentimentality.

 

Through this interplay of form and symbolism, Captured in Time invites viewers to reflect on their own defining moments. It challenges us to consider how memories shape identity, how time alters perception, and how art serves as a testament to both the ephemeral and the eternal.

 

This exhibition is not just a display of artworks but an invitation to pause and embrace the beauty of remembrance—of moments that, though past, remain forever captured in time.
