There's no fear in love | Gallery reception
Thursday, August 29th, 6pm – 8pm
@ Chesapeake Arts Center
Anna Divinagracia's solo exhibition “Love Has No Fear” is a photographic exploration that delves into love's profound impact across relationships, community, identity and culture. Through a collection spanning six years, the series reveals the complex dynamics that reveal the diverse expressions of commitment. It celebrates the transformative power of love and illuminates how it strengthens individual character and fosters community bonds. Embedded in the images is the idea that to love is to witness and reflect, that we become mirrors of light for one another. From archival pieces to more recent works, Divinagracia's artwork invites viewers to contemplate the fearless depths of love's impact.
The exhibition will run from August 10, 2024 to September 5, 2024 in Gallery 194.
