Relative Distance is a London-based studio founded by Roland Ellis and Dev Joshi, creating light-based artworks and collectible design objects that explore scale, light, time, and form. Inspired by astronomy and natural forces, Relative Distance produces installations and sculptural objects that reflect on universal connections across cultures and histories. Phase is both a clock and a light, moving daily through lunar phases and illuminating in real time to remind us of the passage of days on a calendar scale. The work explores the paradox of distance: the Moon is culturally close, embedded in stories, poetry and myth, yet physically distant and unreachable. By bringing this presence indoors, Phase becomes both object and experience, offering moments of connection, reflection and renewal.
Rawan El Sheikh is a multidisciplinary artist based in London, working across photography, music, fashion and visual storytelling. Rooted in cultural intersections and lived experience, El Sheikh captures energy and presence through image, sound and style, treating each medium as part of a larger conversation. El Sheikh transforms the overlooked into creative possibility, reimagining how narratives are felt as well as seen. This image acts as a cultural timestamp, raw, vibrant and full of motion. Its immediacy mirrors the energy of the room: the heat, the rhythm, the presence. Part of the Noise is about being immersed in a moment larger than yourself, where the blur of bodies, sound, identity and style merge into one. It becomes a portrait of collective energy, chaotic, beautiful and alive.
Quintus Glerum is an artist whose practice investigates the human condition by mirroring himself against machines. Working across media from technological installations to animation, Glerum constructs hypothetical scenarios that probe behaviour, perception and the systems shaping them. Glerum has created a small series of works that reflect on the urge for escapism by portraying life through a collection of simulations. Quintus attempts to grasp the existential dread of the mundane by making video compositions that bridge dull sceneries with childish fantasy. To amplify the fakeness of these worlds, the screens are made transparent to make the inside of the screen an intricate part of the composition.
Raoof Haghighi is a self-taught artist whose practice blends classical technique with contemporary themes. Working across drawing and painting, Raoof creates emotionally charged works that combine technical mastery with raw intimacy. His art reflects on universal human experience, seeking to forge deep connections with viewers by balancing tradition with a contemporary sensibility that resonates across cultures. A surreal meditation on identity, movement, and duality—the self in transit, both whole and apart. The piece evokes a quiet tension between control and liberation, where fragmented forms maintain harmony in motion.
