THE MOIRAI'S LOOM

MARTIN DREVES CASTILLO | OLGA MOȘ | SERHII HREKH

24 JULY – 30 AUGUST 2025

Drawing on the myth of the Moirai, the ancient Greek personifications and weavers of destiny, the exhibition situates the loom as a conceptual and material site where tradition meets transformation, and where the threads of migration, longing, and belonging are continuously spun and rewoven, that ultimately shaping the course of ones life.

FEATURED ARTIST

SERHII HREKH

The practices of Hrekh are interwoven with the energy of the urban environment and the legacy of street art. Serhii’s evolution from graffiti to abstraction and surrealism is a journey through imagined realities, where color and form are threads that distort and reconfigure the familiar. His works are commentaries on society, culture, and the mutable nature of identity, representative of the knots and tangles in the fabric of the urban experience, gestures that bind memory, place, and the ever-shifting contours of the self.

OLGA MOȘ

Moș’s practice is rooted in the landscapes of her childhood, spent on the edges of forests and across shifting borders. Her paintings unfold as poetic narratives of movement and change, where “origin and identity are something far-reaching and flowing, constantly changing.” In Moș’s hands, the loom becomes a metaphor for the fluidity of self: each brushstroke is a thread spun from memory and motion, blurring boundaries between concrete and abstract, past and present. Her vivid, performative use of color and form invites viewers to witness the softening of hard limits, echoing the Moirai’s weaving of fate as both a constraint and an invitation to transformation.
