SUMMARY:Princeton Yoga Fest 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Ephemeral Waltz of the ButterflyBy Gina LuciaOn view: Mar 21 – Apr 18Opening: Sat\, Mar 21 | 3-5pmExhibition statement:Our bodies by construction imitate objects in nature that keep us alive. However\, we are as ephemeral as the leaves on a tree and as we evolve\, change form and respond to environmental changes\, we shed our leaves\, our skin and transform\, wither and die. The very essence of our existence is as ephemeral as our world\, our planet and all of the living things in the eco-system. Human kind is a part of the earth as are all of the creatures\, insects\, birds\, plants and other organic matter. Though we believe that we matter more than all of other living matter\, human kind is nothing more than organic matter. Organic matter resembling all other life forms: the roots of trees resemble our lungs\, like waterways and estuaries flow for plant life and other life to thrive. Small ventricles of life that expand and contract bring air\, food and water to our bodies and nourish our organs. As larvae transform into caterpillars and caterpillars into butterflies and the seasons transform into one another there is a rebirth of matter and a transformation that imitates nature and nature imitates man\, all fragile\, beautiful and ephemeral; such is the ephemeral waltz of the butterfly About the artist:Lucia’s mixed media collage work fuses commercial and fine art techniques. Hand drawn sketches are combined with found objects\, photography\, hand-rendered typography and presented in a thought-provoking photomontage. Inspired by music\, Surrealism and the Freudian concept of free association\, personal experiences and heartbreak\, everyday encounters with objects people and places\, the current social and political climate\, her collages are spontaneous juxtapositions of unlikely things. She incorporates elements of pop culture; viscera; nature; animals; insects; and other eclectic ephemera into her work. The harmonious commingling of both digital technology and fine art techniques has allowed her to redefine and refine her art.Website

SUMMARY:ART OF The Revolution
DESCRIPTION:The Ephemeral Waltz of the ButterflyBy Gina LuciaOn view: Mar 21 – Apr 18Opening: Sat\, Mar 21 | 3-5pmExhibition statement:Our bodies by construction imitate objects in nature that keep us alive. However\, we are as ephemeral as the leaves on a tree and as we evolve\, change form and respond to environmental changes\, we shed our leaves\, our skin and transform\, wither and die. The very essence of our existence is as ephemeral as our world\, our planet and all of the living things in the eco-system. Human kind is a part of the earth as are all of the creatures\, insects\, birds\, plants and other organic matter. Though we believe that we matter more than all of other living matter\, human kind is nothing more than organic matter. Organic matter resembling all other life forms: the roots of trees resemble our lungs\, like waterways and estuaries flow for plant life and other life to thrive. Small ventricles of life that expand and contract bring air\, food and water to our bodies and nourish our organs. As larvae transform into caterpillars and caterpillars into butterflies and the seasons transform into one another there is a rebirth of matter and a transformation that imitates nature and nature imitates man\, all fragile\, beautiful and ephemeral; such is the ephemeral waltz of the butterfly About the artist:Lucia’s mixed media collage work fuses commercial and fine art techniques.

SUMMARY:Commit to Memory: The Precipice of Extinction
DESCRIPTION:The Ephemeral Waltz of the ButterflyBy Gina LuciaOn view: Mar 21 – Apr 18Opening: Sat\, Mar 21 | 3-5pmExhibition statement:Our bodies by construction imitate objects in nature that keep us alive. However\, we are as ephemeral as the leaves on a tree and as we evolve\, change form and respond to environmental changes\, we shed our leaves\, our skin and transform\, wither and die. The very essence of our existence is as ephemeral as our world\, our planet and all of the living things in the eco-system. Human kind is a part of the earth as are all of the creatures\, insects\, birds\, plants and other organic matter. Though we believe that we matter more than all of other living matter\, human kind is nothing more than organic matter. Organic matter resembling all other life forms: the roots of trees resemble our lungs\, like waterways and estuaries flow for plant life and other life to thrive. Small ventricles of life that expand and contract bring air\, food and water to our bodies and nourish our organs. As larvae transform into caterpillars and caterpillars into butterflies and the seasons transform into one another there is a rebirth of matter and a transformation that imitates nature and nature imitates man\, all fragile\, beautiful and ephemeral; such is the ephemeral waltz of the butterfly About the artist:Lucia’s mixed media collage work fuses commercial and fine art techniques. Hand drawn sketches are combined with found objects\, photography\, hand-rendered typography and presented in a thought-provoking photomontage. Inspired by music\, Surrealism and the Freudian concept of free association\, personal experiences and heartbreak\, everyday encounters with objects people and places\, the current social and political climate\, her collages are spontaneous juxtapositions of unlikely things. She incorporates elements of pop culture; viscera; nature; animals; insects; and other eclectic ephemera into her work. The harmonious commingling of both digital technology and fine art techniques has allowed her to redefine and refine her art.Website
