The Secret Garden Exhibition by Kai Kozon

We cordially invite you to an intermedia exhibition featuring painting, drawing, spatial installations, and ceramics. The opening will take place on March 27, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.

The Secret Garden—it’s a world brimming with magic, connection with animals, and wildness—something that allows us to be more sensitive and full of life. In this space, we experience our surroundings and ourselves with all our senses. This is where true magic happens, and I want to bring that magic into the gallery space. I long to share something from the depths of my own being. Standing in a garden walled off from the world, I discover one of the most extraordinary phenomena. The call of freedom. When plants awaken from their slumber, when we find harmony with animals—I find a place where everything is possible—even’s transformation of oneself. We are then able to converse with all creatures and think positively—as if with our whole hearts. Every step of the way, we discover something new and create something new. Here, all possibilities exist. I believe there is plenty of magic in the world, which begins with the thought that good things will happen—until eventually they do. The world is full of great, good things. To work magic in the secret garden, to listen intently, to follow the new, to create it, and to think positively—that is the secret garden—a place for the soul.
