TIRED BONES

OHO Gallery, Helsinki, 11.9–19.12.2025

TIRED BONES moves within a liminal space between body, memory, and inner space. At once personal and abstract, the works emerge from an exploration of the self — an intuitive process where emotions, memories, and inner states are translated into form.

The hand-built, one-of-a-kind sculptures feature organic forms, like fragments of an inner landscape. They suggest gestures in transition, incomplete and unfolding.

The exhibition presents Elena Palomo’s ceramic sculptures and a single video work. Among them are a few of the artist’s personal favourites made between 2023 and 2024, alongside new sculptures created in 2025 specifically for this exhibition.
