Tea Time (No Sugar) begins from the premise that meaning is rarely located in what is most apparent. What we see is shaped as much by what is withheld as by what is placed directly before us. This exhibition explores femininity as a way of experiencing the world; context changes, yet what endures is the choreography between intimacy and performance, the moments that unfold without the watchful eye, the cup of tea drunk alone, or the carefully staged tea time performed as ritual across generations.
