There Is No Fear In Love | Gallery Reception
Thursday, August 29 :: 6-8pm
@ Chesapeake Arts Center
“There Is No Fear In Love,” a solo exhibition by Anna Divinagracia, is a photographic exploration delving into the profound influence of love across relationships, community, identity, and culture. Through a collection spanning six years, this series unveils the intricate dynamics that manifest the diverse expressions of devotion. It celebrates the transformative power of love, revealing how it fortifies individual character and fosters communal bonds. Embedded within the imagery is the notion that to love is to witness and reflect, where we become mirrors of each other’s light. From archival pieces to recent works, Divinagracia’s body of art invites viewers to contemplate the fearless depths of love’s impact.
This exhibit is on view in our Gallery 194 from August 10, 2024 – September 5, 2024.
