Centred around the idea of creation through play — where play becomes both a form of luxury and an artistic language — the works invited visitors to explore this universal language as an entry point into my colourful universe. Play isn’t just light-hearted fun; it’s a vital creative language that invites curiosity, joyful accidents, and meaningful connection.

The exhibition featured a stepped display: Acting like a 3D collage, the display bringing together artworks, objects and printed elements in layered conversation. playing with with height, rhythm and viewpoint to encourage a sense of exploration, inviting the viewer to look, pause and discover. The display dynamic and ever-changing; as pieces find new homes, the composition shifts and evolves throughout the show.

I also took over the window display and collaborated with the BALTIC Shop on exclusive merchandise, including a limited-edition print and the now-iconic BALTIC bag.
