"A RETURN TO SELF IS A RETURN TO LOVE" By: Diana Carla Rowe OPENING RECEPTION

“A RETURN TO SELF IS A RETURN TO LOVE” Solo Exhibition Opening Reception Presented by Ace Hotel New York The exhibition asks, “What if love was not understood as a transaction or an ideal, but as a state of being ,starting with how we see, hold, and understand ourselves?” A Return to Self is A Return to Love explores love as an inside out proposition. It explores love as, first, a conversation with self and then asks what becomes possible when we stop searching outward for what can only be cultivated within. Through gesture, material, and presence, this exhibition traces the contours of love & self, and how they shape every other connection one will ever have. It is an invitation to consider love not only as something found, but also as something returned to. Come share your stories of self-love!
