Existential-psychotherapist, Natasha Synesiou, describes a threshold as “a crossing, a point of transformation and revelation: a place where perspective, once essential, becomes unstable; it is an end and a beginning”. The notion of the threshold or the in-between, is a recurring metaphor throughout the exhibition, representing the spaces between fixed identities, inner and outer worlds, beginning and end–not as a void but as a field of potential and relation. 

Adam’s creative process is grounded in her developing practice as an existential-phenomenological therapist, shaped by philosophical inquiry and a deep engagement with her lived experience. Her artwork reflects the idea that human experience is relational and co-emergent; shaped by interaction, reflection, and a deep awareness of being-in-the-world. She navigates dialectical concepts such as comfort and discomfort, action and observation, or certainty and uncertainty, seeking not to resolve this tension but to hold it in dialogue. What unfolds is a dance that is fluid and responsive to its counterpart.

For Adam, the body is not just a tool for creation but a site of perception, memory, and knowledge,an ever-unfolding experience sensed in the interplay between mind and body. She views existence as fundamentally interconnected; every thread of lived experience is entwined with the world around us, echoing John Muir’s reflection that “when one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world”. This perspective underscores Adam’s belief in the human experience as profoundly relational, where the self is continuously shaped through dialogue with the social, cultural, historical, and political forces that surround it. 

Adam’s process of creating is intuitive as well as intentional. Working with ink, thread, graphite, oil, and collage on both paper and linen, she embraces materials that absorb, bleed, or resist, mirroring the unpredictability of the emotional and perceptual states she explores. Leaving canvases unstretched and raw fosters a sense of openness and continuity, enhancing the fluidity of her practice.

In a culture that often demands instant solutions, clarity, finality, and resolution, Adam’s work offers an alternative way of being, one that is responsive, relational, and open to its own unfolding. At the heart of her works is the philosophical question: how do we know when something is true, right, or complete? What if we don’t, and can we be at home in that uncertainty?
