‘Holding Shapes’

That philosophy finds its fullest expression in ‘Holding Shapes’, an ongoing exhibition mounted at the Alliance Française. It features a new series of collage works that explores healing, transformation and the complexities of personal identity through abstraction. The exhibition opened to the public on July 9 and will run until the 30th.

The title Holding Shapes is a deliberate play on the phrase “holding space”, the act of being present for someone in a safe and non-judgemental way. For Maine, the exhibition reflects the tension between holding on and letting go.
