What do the things we leave behind say about us?

Step into an exhibition that explores what we leave behind; our memories, our food, our traces of home.
Bringing together two evolving bodies of work, this show dives into themes of home, loss, and responsibility in a world that often feels off-balance.
From discarded food to abandoned places, these artworks ask a simple but powerful question: what do our remnants reveal about us?

Catch it from December 8-19 at the AUC Future Gallery in Tahrir Campus.
