For this issue, we invited artists from all disciplines to submit work exploring the theme “Hidden Worlds”—a reflection on the layered identities we inhabit and the unseen truths we carry.
In our daily lives, we present carefully constructed versions of ourselves: composed, curated, and often incomplete. Beneath these public faces lie complex inner worlds—vulnerabilities, contradictions, desires, and stories that rarely surface.
This exhibition seeks to uncover those concealed dimensions and examine the tension between what is shown and what is withheld. We were intrigued to see how these questions were tackled: What lies beneath the masks we wear; how do societal expectations shape the identities we present; how do you present to the world, and what do you keep hidden; where do authenticity and performance intersect, and can the hidden self ever fully emerge into view?

Breaking through the surface
Description: In this work, the emerging inner form takes the shape of a porcelain cross, symbolising deeply embedded beliefs and spiritual foundations that quietly shape our identities. These inner structures often remain invisible to others, yet they profoundly influence how we see ourselves and how we move through the world.
