S E E D transforms CulturalDC’s Mobile Art Gallery into an earthy, meditative space where Murjoni Merriweather’s clay sculptures rise from mounds of soil, representing themes of patience and transformation. The space also includes an interactive area where visitors can dig in the dirt and uncover hidden items to take with them that are made by the artist, inspiring moments of self-reflection and calm.
“Rooted in Reflection,” as Merriweather explains, “this exhibition pushes beyond the traditional busts I’ve created, evolving into a space that encourages self-reflection and calm. My goal is for visitors to literally dig in the dirt and connect with the concept of growth—both physically and spiritually.”
