Roscoè B. Thické III and Matthew Forehand’s work serves as a meditation on connecting with one’s inner self—bridging the gap between past experiences and future aspirations. They invite viewers into a warmth state of reflection, where the contours of memory blur into a deeper contemplation of identity and purpose.

Both artists draw inspiration from their roots and their connection to the city of Miami. Roscoè blends traditional photography with experimental techniques to examine family, community, and intimacy, while examining the city’s cultural and emotional landscape. Matthew, on the other hand, rediscovered his Colombian heritage after relocating to Miami, a connection tied to his family’s immigration in the 1980s. This renewed sense of place and lineage has shaped his work, particularly through his painting.

Using their distinct mediums, they transform their personal histories into meditative narratives that bridge the past and future, self and community.

Nostalgia here transcends mere recollection; it becomes a feeling that brings life’s most meaningful moments into focus. Through meditation, this state deepens, offering clarity as these experiences shape us. By pausing to reflect on the warmest dream—the emotions, aspirations, and connections that feel most alive within us—we uncover not just who we were, but who we are becoming.
