Thought is not a fixed point but a thread—unfolding, tangling, looping through forms, materials, and methods. When research takes shape through practice, knowledge is not simply demonstrated but made, tested, and reconfigured.

‘Threads of Thought’ invites a critical engagement with how knowledge is produced, questioned, and transformed through creative practice. Through iterative methodologies, material enquiry, and interdisciplinary engagement, the exhibition explores the embodied thinking and experimental processes that shape doctoral research beyond traditional academic forms.

Through language, visual impact, spatial extension, and human interaction, the works presented here demonstrate how practice emerges as a mode of enquiry—threading together ideas, materials, and methods across disciplines.
