The Capstone group exhibition encompassed Gaia’s site-specific installation called “The Square and the Circle: a space of playfulness contemplation” 2019 at the Comber Street Studio, Paddington, Sydney. Within its own unique space, the installation entailed one gallery space, one mix-media artwork, one Japanese wooden stool, one roman-style hopscotch game and one sound (Sydney Conservatorium of Music Cello musician, Joanne Hwang for the opening night) combined as a whole.

With the allusive reference to the geometry of the Pantheon and the symbolism of Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man, the circle and the square are dismantled, revisited and integrated within the installation suggesting a journey into one’s sacred space.
