Fall
solo exhibition at Titanik, Turku, Finland
24.10-16.11.2025
Titled Fall, a word whose meaning slips from seasonality to the physical pull of gravity, Océane Bruel’s exhibition draws on the resonances between cultivation cycles, sculptural processes, and the lived experience of chronic illness.
With a material and spatial approach she develops a sculptural language that invites attention and haptic perception. Rooted in everyday-life her work engages with embodiment, crip sensibility, time, loss and metamorphosis. At Titanik, Océane presents a new constellation of works, where abstraction meets the familiar, and a messy corporeality transforms into something delicate. The body of work combines ceramics, fabrics and organic matter from her garden.
The artist’s work has been supported by the Arts Promotion Centre Finland, Uusimaa.
