Exhibition

Paradise Lost marks the debut solo exhibition of Jade Zammit, a personal exploratory journey. In this new body of work, Zammit confronts the fragility of paradises, both real and imagined, that are perpetually ''hanging by a thread''. The works vary not just in form, but in their thematic undertones, reflecting the mulitfaceted nature of paradise itself, a concept that is as fragile as it is alluring.

Zammit's work delves into the discomfort associated with the loss of the natural world, a paradise that, like the tapestries she references, is both beautiful and precarious. Through an almost imaginary perspective, she evokes a deep sense of nostalgia, compelling you to reflect on the fragility of both personal and collective histories. 

As a viewer, you are invited to journey through this exploration with Zammit, reflecting on her perceptions of paradise. Are we, too, holding on to something that is hanging by a thread? And when the thread snaps, what do we find? Zammit does not merely present a series of artworks; she offers us a space to dream, to question, to reflect, and perhaps come to terms with the inevitable losses.
