And They Make Us Poor, For Our Only Wealth Is Seeing, a group exhibition that explores the evolving relationship between humans and their environments as natural landscapes transform under the pressures of climate change and urbanization. Borrowing its title from a line of poetry by Fernando Pessoa, the exhibition centers on solastalgia—the distress and sense of displacement experienced when one’s familiar environment is irrevocably altered. Through this lens, the exhibition delves into the emotional and psychological impacts of these changes, exploring how shifting perspectives toward the natural world evoke feelings of grief, dislocation, and adaptation.
