On display now in our 24/7 Display Window: HOLD CLOSE
by Laura Kern

Hold Close explores the delicate tension between protection and vulnerability—where care can both comfort and confine. Through sculptural works that cocoon metal in fabric, Laura Kern creates forms that feel at once shielded and exposed.

These pieces invite reflection on what it means to protect, preserve, and hold something—or someone—close.

Wrapped in traditional Korean bojagi cloth, Bound by Bojagi beautifully illustrates the ties that connect generations, cultures, and family stories.

In this striking digital illustration, artist Castagnari portrays herself and her mother bound together in vibrant patterns that symbolize their multicultural heritage. Though her mother does not share her Korean background, the bojagi becomes a powerful metaphor for connection—stitching together different histories, identities, and experiences into one shared story.

On view now as part of Identities Playground at Bellefonte Art Museum for Centre County.

At BAM, Identity Playgrounds invites us to consider how identity is created, challenged, and reimagined.

Two Blossoms, A New Season by Taylor Moon Castagnari offers a hopeful vision of reconciliation and renewal.

Featuring the cherry blossom of Japan and the mugunghwa of South Korea, this digital artwork reflects how two nations with a complex and often painful history can move forward while honoring their distinct identities. Blooming side by side, the flowers symbolize coexistence, resilience, and the possibility of a brighter shared future.

Come experience the stories shaping who we are.

On display now through June 28th
