In the digital age, the screen has become our temple wall, and emojis have become the new hieroglyphs, a universal language of symbols, emotion, and identity of the new generation. They compress entire worlds into simple icons: a flame 🔥 can carry desire, rebellion, or irony; a broken heart 💔 can hold grief or humor. Like ancient signs carved in stone, these icons record how we connect. 

This trio exhibition features the works of Maggie Yang, Jon Savage and Evyn Hewett, all Southern California artists whose practices engage with the visual language of our time. The exhibition brings together works that remix pop culture, gaming, memes, neon aesthetics, and embodied language to explore how Gen Z is writing its own future archives.
