This collective of visual and written word artists explore magical realism through mixtures of creative disciplines that examine the unseen moments of new growth. The installation explores the realm of the “unseen,” exposing the world that lives just beneath the surface. How does the little sprout appear each spring and summer? How do we persist through even the most difficult moments? What keeps us going?

Through visual representation and poetic offerings, we present a world in which the glimmers of hope are revealed to live just beneath the surface. New sprouts will burst forth from this underground network representing the courageous first return to the world unknown. We are, all of us, reemerging in little and big ways. This art honors how much it takes to breach the surface and continue to grow. More importantly, it is a reminder of how much goes unseen in our journey toward courageous action. It reveals the parts of us that are made of wonder and mysticism.
