Chukwudubem Ukaigwe's Poetic Meditation on Urban Perception at Catriona Jeffries

exhibition · 2026-05-15

Chukwudubem Ukaigwe presents a solo exhibition at Catriona Jeffries in Vancouver, featuring a poetic text that explores perception, urban landscape, and the interplay between visibility and obscurity. The work uses the metaphor of a tree outside an apartment window to reflect on how seasonal changes frame or block views of a distant monument, prompting questions about what is seen, heard, and intuited. The exhibition includes a checklist and booklet available online.
