This exhibition is a meditation on becoming—an excavation of the winding, fractured, and often unseen paths that shape who we are. A nonlinear, tender, and disjointed journey back to the self. Through abstract paintings on canvas and paper, this body of work honors the labor of growth—how even the missteps and detours contain an order, a rhythm of return. Each individual painting is a story and a journey in itself.

Christa’s painting process—layered, emotional, gestural—traces her own inner terrains. These artworks represent touchstones; landmarks of interior shifts. They hold restraint and rupture in the same breath. In them, healing is not polished—it is raw, layered, sometimes undone.

ARLTH embraces the intimate, exciting journey of facing oneself—all past and emerging versions included—and acknowledging them as necessary thresholds. It is about self-love and personal growth as something earned, not through perfection, but through presence. Because every closed door rerouted you. And every road—the scenic ones, the hard ones—taught you how to come home to yourself.
