In Prom Night Reckoning, Robin F. Williams dismantles the fantasy of the prom queen with dazzling colors and raw emotion. A tiara becomes a burden, a rose a symbol of pressure. Through vibrant textures and piercing symbolism, the painting reveals the quiet panic behind performative perfection — and invites us to reconsider what we call “the perfect moment.”

In Pane (2023), Tschabalala Self constructs a bold portrait of fractured identity using fabric, paint, thread, and digitally printed linen. The work explores the layered nature of selfhood, perception, and visibility, inviting viewers to reflect on the textures—both literal and metaphorical—that shape how we see ourselves and others.
