Gaze Fractured — Curated by Tony Kapel
Special Projects | Lobby
What do we see when we look?
This exhibition explores the shifting dynamics of portraiture and figuration as TERRA Environmental Research High School artists move from surface gaze to introspection. Through drawing, painting, photography, and mixed media, these works question how representation shapes perception and what it means to be seen.
Meet the TERRA artists at Feria Clandestina Art Fair during Miami Art Week! From school-wide face painting to plein air sessions and collaborative projects, these students have shown extraordinary dedication. Selected to exhibit alongside 29 rooms and 90+ artists, they represent the next generation of creative voices.
