Multidisciplinary artists Amy Bench, Veronica Ceci, and Lisa Laratta converge to present "Soft Pocket," a collaborative tactile installation that protests prevailing pressures to achieve in a capitalist landscape and offers a refuge from the relentless demands of our contemporary digital life.

This immersive experience seeks to redefine and celebrate success, self-worth, and the legacy of resourcefulness by blending hand-printed patterns, projected images, light, painted backdrops, fabrics, and found partially completed creative projects. The trio transforms the gallery into a sanctuary—an antithesis to the plutocratic expectations of productivity.

"Soft Pocket" delves into the artists' personal struggles with a constant need for validation and the toll it takes on individual well-being. It invites viewers to explore the quietude that accompanies inward-facing energy, creating a literal pocket of comfort and care within the gallery walls.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until May 11.
