Their work explores the liminal space between perception and reality through a relational and textual lens, using personal experience as a point of entry. By translating embodied knowledge into accessible forms, Getsay creates work grounded in feeling and care that engages diverse cultural and social contexts.
Katie Kearns
They/ Them

Lena Baranova
She/Her
is a visual artist working with mixed techniques. Drawing from avant-garde, symbolism, surrealism, and expressionism, her work uses bright color and fluid texture to explore hidden aspects of the subconscious. Her work constructs layered, symbolic spaces where figures and objects operate as carriers of thought, memory, and subconscious experience.
Sam Castille

is a multidisciplinary artist working across writing, painting, digital art, and lino-printing. His work spans a wide range of subject matter, with a particular fondness for rendering the macabre through a cute yet unsettling sensibility. Alongside his artistic practice, he specializes in permanent hair-removal planning and treatment for FLINTA* individuals.
Michael Großstück
He/ Him
is a visual artist working primarily with collage. His practice unfolds through layered imagery, tracing the shifting terrain of emotion, memory, and desire. Each work forms a subtle space where personal instinct meets shared feeling, inviting viewers into their own fragmented inner landscapes.
Giulio Secondo
He/ Him
a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, drawing, and symbolic practice. His work draws from poetry, mythology, and intuitive systems like tarot to explore the intersections of emotion, narrative, and spirit, often invoking dream-like imagery that bridges inner worlds with shared mythologies. By weaving literary sensibility with visual form, Secondo creates work that resonates with both personal introspection and collective imagination.
