T Mari Gallery invites artists of all mediums to submit work for Unseen Forces, a juried exhibition that delves into the hidden influences that shape our world. These forces—though unseen—are ever-present, guiding our emotions, memories, and perceptions. From the subtle pull of nostalgia to the power of collective history, from the invisible currents of nature to societal structures that shape our daily lives, this exhibition seeks to illuminate the intangible.
Artists are encouraged to explore how these unseen forces manifest in their work. Whether through personal narratives that speak to ancestral ties or childhood memories, abstract compositions capturing energy and movement, or social commentary on systems of power and influence, each piece should invite viewers to engage with the often-overlooked forces that govern experience.
This exhibition welcomes interpretations that range from the deeply personal to the universal, offering a space for artists to reveal what lies beneath the surface—the echoes of the past, the weight of the present, and the mysteries of the unseen.
