Bringing The Outside In
Bringing the Outside in addresses themes of identity, memory, and heritage. Dahlia Dreszer challenges traditional still life arrangement by creating a multi-dimensional environment that invites viewers to reflect on the evolving nature of cultural identity. Flowers, a significant part of the artist's identity, are methodically layered in compositions as symbols of the feminine and familial connection.
Bringing the Outside In is where home becomes a vessel for cultural memory and identity. Dreszer’s arrangements of flowers, family heirlooms, folk art with colors and patterns, blur reality and artifice, transporting the viewer between household interiors and other worlds. Her visual language speaks of the transience of human cultures, suggesting that “home” is not a fixed place but a gathering of memories in the space we inhabit.
