Of Fire-Harpoons
About the Exhibition: Of Fire-harpoons
Of Fire-harpoons unfolds as a poetic and conceptually rich exhibition that navigates themes of transformation, vulnerability and symbolic storytelling. Drawing on mythological references and fragmented narratives, the show invites viewers into an introspective space where emotion and imagination intersect.
The title evokes tension and intensity, suggesting both confrontation and illumination. Through carefully composed works, Raina constructs visual environments that feel intimate yet expansive, where figures, forms and textures operate as carriers of layered meaning.
The exhibition encourages slow engagement, prompting audiences to reflect on how myth and memory shape contemporary experience.
