“Where the Dough Folds Inwards” is an exhibition grounded in the emotional connection built between Alisa Tsybina and Nanhee Kim.
One of their earliest moments of connection took place at the common studio space on the table, sharing and tasting each other’s homemade dishes.
This act went beyond simple taste it unfolded into an experience layered with memory, emotion, and personal history.
The exhibition title, “Where the Dough Folds Inwards”, serves as a quiet metaphor for this process.
Just as dough folds into itself layer by layer, holding air, tension, and time the artists’ paintings carry inner histories shaped by both personal and collective experiences.
While the works are not explicitly about food, they reflect how small, intimate gestures like sharing a meal can spark deeper conversations around identity and belonging between two artists from different national backgrounds.
Each painting holds emotional traces and layers of memory, expressed through the artists’ distinct visual languages. Through these works, viewers are invited to move between shared sensations and divided memories, witnessing the ways in which personal and national narratives become intertwined.

During the finissage, a communal table will offer small servings of foods once shared in the studio, such as dried seaweed, anchovies, light snacks, and drinks representing each artist’s cultural background. This gesture does not compete with the artworks but rather echoes the quiet moment of exchange that sparked the dialogue at the heart of the exhibition. You are warmly invited to bring along a small food that holds meaning for you something you love, something from your own memory. Place it on the table as a way of folding your story into ours, one taste at a time.
