"A House Overlooking the World" is a metaphor reflecting the need to find a sense of self in a rapidly changing world and it delves into the idea of a home within the contemporary realm. The exhibition also raises questions about identity and belonging through the eyes of the artists who got to display their artworks by exploring topics related to urban identity and what shapes it, offering an inward look at the people who are the foundation to any society.
