Gallery Together and Forest For the Trees invites you to join us during First Thursday Art Walk on February 5th at Hometeam Gallery for “i LiVE: An Evening with Safiuchi & the Homies.”
In architecture, a structure is only as strong as its foundation. In this show, that foundation is the lowercase “i”—often overlooked, but intentional: a symbol of the self before performance, the quiet inner truth that doesn’t need to be bigger to be real.
The “i” serves as a visual anchor for a journey that has navigated site demolition, chaos, and the raw labor of healing: breaking down what no longer holds, and rebuilding from what’s true. Moving between expressive charcoal on raw canvas and conceptual, refractive photography, Safiuchi invites you to look beyond the symmetry of the surface.
This show is an exploration of internal space: a reminder that to stand tall, one must first own their truth. Discover the extraordinary story behind the symbol and witness the clarity that emerges when we finally design for ourselves.
At the center of the evening is Safiuchi, whose live painting brings this philosophy into motion. Her performance is held in space with works by Cristina Martinez, Chloe King, Japhy Witte, and Devin Liston—a collective of artists exploring identity, memory, vulnerability, and imagination through distinct visual languages.
Together, the evening becomes a shared ecosystem: personal yet communal, reflective and alive.
