Letters to a Troubled Planet / Messages in Silence  presents artist books and paintings that act as quiet messengers—poetic fragments addressed to a world in turmoil. Each work unfolds like an unreadable letter, written in an unfamiliar hand and resisting direct interpretation, yet charged with emotion and intent. The two tree paintings stand as witnesses to environmental loss and human neglect, while the recurring presence of yellow introduces a counterpoint as a signal of hope, light, and renewal. Reflecting on today’s ecological and existential crises, the exhibition also echoes humanity’s enduring effort to make sense of the world and communicate across time and silence. Together, these works form a field of unresolved messages—letters not only to a troubled planet, but also from it—inviting us to pause, to feel, and to listen more deeply.
