Enari Gallery is pleased to present Make Me See, a group exhibition examining light's narrative and emotional potential, featuring works by Dabin Ahn, Emma Beatrez, Fiona Finnegan, Lisa Liljeström, Lindsay Merrill, and Dimitris Tampakis. Make Me See is both an invitation and a demand. It gestures to the power of light to reveal, transform, and provoke, as well as its role in art history as a bridge between the material and the immaterial. Across the works presented light becomes a versatile and evocative tool, serving as a conduit for exploring themes of memory, longing, and transcendence.

Taken together, the artists in Make Me See articulate a shared fascination with the overlooked and intangible qualities of light. Their varied approaches engage with light not simply as a tool for representation but as an active agent in storytelling, capable of evoking hope, desire, and even despair. The exhibition underscores the continuing relevance of light as a medium in contemporary art, linking the works to broader art historical traditions while situating them firmly in the present. The exhibition as a whole offers a layered dialogue between these practices. The works interact without collapsing into a singular narrative, allowing viewers to draw connections or divergences.
