Se.ren.i.ty 

 

Perfectly Imperfect Studios is proud to present Se.ren.i.ty curated by Gallery Director, LaTwanna Williams.

​

You are invited to Explore and Respond to having or lacking Serenity. According to the dictionary Serenity means: the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled. What happens when we have reached a place of complete Serenity? What happens when we lack or are operating in a space where Serenity in not present? Understanding that this broad topic is full of different interpretations, you are challenged to make a statement with your art to respond to what it means to be in, a part of, on the receiving end of, or having lack of Serenity. This theme is open to your own creative interpretations!
