About the Exhibition:
This exhibition has several points of origin. There is the myth of Hermes Trismegistus (The Thrice Great), a Jazz song by the same name (Zane Rodulfo), and a meditation on how existence is the process of transmutation. We grow by transforming life’s lessons into something substantive.
