Nengiren: Kelana

January 11 - February 2, 2025 

Irene Saputra, also known as Nengiren, showcases her creative journey over the past decade. Through hand embroidery, this exhibition explores forms, colors, and patterns, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary art.

Embroidery in Nengiren’s work is more than a visual technique; it symbolizes life’s journey, embodying patience, calmness, and perseverance. Each stitch harmonizes hand movements, thoughts, and emotions, offering a meditative escape from the fast-paced modern world. Kelana invites reflection on the beauty of simplicity and the depth of handcrafted artistry.
