Nature is an indispensable part of human life. - It is the basis for human survival. Due to the breakout of COVID-19, people are suffering from illness, and experiencing pain, anxiety, loneliness, unknown and fear. Sanctuary- Growing Alongside Nature in an Uncertain World represents the mutual vulnerability, fragility, and resilience of nature and humans, and explores the healing power of nature in times of isolation and uncertainty. 

  

This exhibition displays artworks made during the pandemic, presenting artists’ personal experiences of how the sanctuary of the natural world helps them persevere and grow during these challenging times. 

  

We have seen enough misery and hopelessness. With Sanctuary, we expect to bring back the hope, resilience and inner peace for all who are seeking sanctuary for their spirit. Sanctuary invites people to reflect on the way we treat nature, heightening our appreciation for nature and the need to care for it in the future.
