Frozen in Time features the work of three local artists whose practices explore the passing of time–whether through the impermanence of beauty, the reconstruction of architectural spaces from memory, or an examination of how architecture can serve as a marker of time.

Silvia Tagusagawa’s body of work titled Eternal Echoes of Nature, explores themes of resilience and impermanence. Her delicate botanical and marine life ceramic sculptures symbolize life’s transience. Through her work, Tagusagawa transforms this fleeting quality into an expression of lightness, beauty, and hope—seeking to inspire renewal and optimism while balancing life’s hard truths with the healing and uplifting power of art.

Artist Statement
Golya Mirderikvand’s paintings emerge from a place of deep focus, where both her external and internal worlds converge. She explores subjects that draw and hold her attention with the right intensity. The works in this exhibition are part of a recent series inspired by nature, capturing intricate networks of branches—whether through the canopies they form or the shadows they cast.

Her artistic process begins with photographing landscapes that feature compelling patterns of tree branches. She captures scenes from multiple angles, experimenting with light and shadow and zooming in on compositions that balance abstraction and realism. The selected photographs are then edited and carefully chosen as references for her paintings.
