Spring Through My Eyes
Virtual Exhibition + Artist’s Interview
Spring Through My Eyes is a virtual exhibition and artist interview series presented by Women In Arts Network, bringing together women artists from around the world through an international open call. Through an international open call, the exhibition celebrates diverse artistic voices, inviting each artist to share a personal perspective on a season that is at once universal and deeply individual.
Ask ten people what spring looks like, and you will likely hear ten different answers.
For one person, it is the first warm afternoon after months of cold. For another, it brings to mind muddy paths, blossoming trees outside a childhood home, or even the unmistakable signs of seasonal allergies. For someone else, spring has very little to do with flowers at all. It may be remembered as a period of personal change, the beginning of a new chapter, or a time that quietly reshaped the course of their life.
It is these individual experiences that give the exhibition its direction.
Rather than defining spring through a single lens, the artists reveal the many ways it can be observed, remembered, and understood. Some works respond to the visible transformations of the season, longer days, shifting light, emerging colour, and changing landscapes. Others approach spring through memory and emotion, where the season becomes intertwined with resilience, anticipation, healing, uncertainty, or renewal.
As the exhibition unfolds, it becomes evident that spring is rarely experienced in exactly the same way. Our understanding of it is shaped by the places we have lived, the people we have known, and the moments that leave lasting impressions. A flowering branch may represent celebration for one person, while reminding another of someone or somewhere they continue to carry with them.
This diversity of experience gives the exhibition its distinctive character. Rather than presenting a single vision of spring, Spring Through My Eyes offers a collection of perspectives that reflect the richness of individual experience. Together, the works reveal how one familiar season can hold countless meanings, each shaped by memory, place, and personal ways of seeing.
Exhibition Note
There comes a point each year when people begin to say the same thing:
“It finally feels like spring.”
What is remarkable, however, is that everyone seems to recognise its arrival differently. Some notice the changing quality of light. Others hear birds returning, see windows opening once again, or observe familiar streets becoming busier. For some, the first signs of spring are less visible, arriving instead through a personal shift in mood, outlook, or memory.
The works in Spring Through My Eyes reflect this breadth of experience.
Some artists respond to the physical characteristics of the season through colour, growth, weather, gardens, and changing landscapes. Others approach spring as a deeply personal experience, shaped by memory, relationships, healing, expectation, or transformation. In these works, spring becomes more than a point in the calendar; it becomes a marker of time within a person’s own life.
As viewers move through the exhibition, no single interpretation takes precedence. An intimate interior can express the spirit of spring as powerfully as a landscape in full bloom. Likewise, an abstract composition may communicate renewal just as convincingly as a representational scene.
Perhaps this is what gives the exhibition its lasting resonance. Every artwork begins from a different perspective, yet each invites the same reflection:
What does spring look like through your own eyes?
The answers are thoughtful, deeply personal, and remarkably diverse.
