Lana Enix is an artist working across new media, sculpture, and immersive, site-specific installations. By employing cutting-edge materials and technologies, she explores the complexities of human experience inherent to contemporary reality and seeks to articulate new, more poignant expressions of the timeless themes of human existence. With an international background, she creates work that is deeply universal, transcending cultural and temporal boundaries. From Within is a series of sculptures created through a chemical explosion within industrial cast clear acrylic. Made from this transparent, durable material, the sculptures embody the ethereal and enduring inner realm of human energy. The works metaphorically express energy arising inside a person, generating thoughts and feelings that lead to action. These explosions, suspended in resilient material, symbolise the mystical and powerful nature of the domain within.

Laetitzia Campbell is a British-French artist whose practice began as an attempt to reconnect with her Jamaican heritage through embroidery. Using second- hand fabrics, family photographs, paint and metal, Campbell creates portraits and compositions that weave memory into material form. Her work reflects on identity and the ways memories are passed down through objects and cloth. Impression is inspired by Laetitzia Campbell’s father and his journey home as a schoolboy in Jamaica. That journey becomes a metaphor for returning to bittersweet moments. Time has passed, and these moments are no longer only memories, but have become home itself. It confronts viewers with the question: can someone, or even oneself, be remembered with complete accuracy? What defines identity—the face, the memories, or the continual state of change?

Lance Lin is a Chinese artist based in London whose practice spans 2D and 3D media. Lin explores the intersections of queerness, masculinity and Chinese identity, portraying themes of fetish, gender performativity and sexuality through material contrasts, colour and shadow. His art aims to testify to the power of sharing vulnerability. It involves offering a part of himself that was once afraid to be heard, allowing the sharer to reclaim the narrative or find peace with its flaws. Compressed Masculinity originates from Lance Lin’s foot and footwear fetish, dissecting masculinity as a set of socially constructed attributes by focusing on feet and what covers them. Lin’s attraction to feet and socks, often regarded as repulsive within social norms, produces a tension between expected disgust and anticipated shame, creating an interconnection between masculinity and emasculation.

Larain Briggs is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher whose practice spans painting, installation and expanded media. Through symbolic and cyclical processes, Briggs explores trauma, dissociation and transformation. Influenced by Jungian psychology, alchemy and philosophies of the sublime, Briggs views artmaking as a ritual act of individuation, creating work that embodies rupture and renewal while offering spaces for reflection and healing. Nigredo began as a spontaneous freeform drawing on canvas, from which a labyrinthine grid emerged through successive layers of drawing and painting. This motif reflects experiences of trauma and dissociation. The labyrinth functions as both a descent into the unconscious and a movement towards transcendence. It illustrates a cyclical process of transformation through fragmentation and reintegration, collapse and emergence.
