Exhibition: All That Was Left Was The Ache

Pilar and Vrije Universiteit Brussel invite you for the vernissage of the exhibition 'All That Was Left Was The Ache'.

Sadness settles over life like a shadow — slow, heavy, and sometimes unexpectedly tender. And then, sometimes, a form of acceptance: open space, breath, a tentative new beginning.

This exhibition explores the notion of heartbreak not always literally (such as a broken relationship), but approaches it through feelings like melancholy, loneliness, alienation, grief, longing, and existential doubt.
The presented works invite reflection on loss, connection, and reconstruction.

The artists depict heartbreak not merely as a moment, but as a trajectory: a physical, mental, and spiritual experience that demands its own language. The imprint of a touch that disappears. 

A confrontation with what it means to be human, to lose, and to love.
