Dentro delves into the profound exploration of the living space, focusing on its ancient and multifaceted nature and its connection to the human psyche. This exhibition investigates the role of the house as an anthropological space that goes beyond physical inhabitation, emphasizing its symbolic significance in shap- ing personal identity and values.

Through Ceramics, Sculpture, Drawing and Painting the artists reflect various aspects of living spaces, span- ning from the concrete and ordinary to the imaginative and fantastical. The house is depicted as a boundary separating the inner and outer worlds, serving as a refuge and a place of intimacy. It symbolizes a container of memories, emotions, and rituals, revealing its enigmatic and timeless nature. The exhibition presents a deep exploration of the idea of home, drawing attention to the power of introspection and privacy in our understanding of living spaces.
