Tender Inventions
Pretend Kin enters the quiet terrain of absence, a hollowed space that does not rupture in a single moment but accumulates quietly, shaping us in subtle, lifelong ways. The ache that anchors this exhibition is tender, persistent, and familiar to anyone who has ever waited for someone who could not fully return. At the heart of it is the idea that when someone essential is missing, the world rushes in with substitutes. Chelsea Theodossis brings us into such a life held together by substitutions for presence, where families learn to survive with only fragments of one another.
