Happening at
O'DA Art

In My Care brings together a selection of works from my personal collection that trace an evolving way of looking. These are works acquired across different moments; early intuitions, later refinements, and the gradual shift that comes from sustained proximity to art and artists.
My earliest acquisitions were largely figurative, drawn to the presence of the human form and its capacity to hold narrative, emotion, and recognition. Over time, my collecting has moved toward more contemporary modes of expression; works that engage abstraction, material experimentation, and conceptual restraint. This change was not abrupt, nor a rejection of what came before, but a widening of attention: a growing comfort with ambiguity, silence, and open endedness.
What remains constant is the role of intuition. Each work in this exhibition entered my care through a moment of recognition; something quietly insistent that resisted explanation. The earliest pieces, though rooted in a different moment of my looking, continue to hold a dear and irreplaceable place. They mark not only where my collecting began, but the sensibilities that made everything else possible.
Presented together, these works reveal a personal arc rather than a linear progression. They sit in conversation across time, reflecting a practice of collecting shaped by curiosity, listening, and change. In My Care is offered as a reflection on that process: an acknowledgement that taste evolves, but attachment endures, and that to care for art is to allow it to accompany you as you become.
