“From the perspective of OXH Gallery, On Blooming considers continuity as an active state. Past and present circulate, fold, and unfold into one another like petals that fall as they bloom. This timeliness is not tied to a single event but reflects an ongoing cultural recalibration. The past is no longer encountered as stable reference material. It is continuously reintroduced through digital and physical means, often fragmented, recontextualized, and reinterpreted. In this landscape, Chris Bakay’s approach to historical compositions reflects a broader condition in which images are reused, reshaped, and remain active rather than preserved in fixed form.”
