The story

Being, longing, belonging

An exhibition about three fundamental facets of life: being, longing and belonging. About being yourself. About recognising what you long for and giving it form. And about feeling connected to people with whom you can be yourself.

The selected works move between vulnerability and strength, inner freedom and connection. They invite us to slow down, recognise and encounter. With this exhibition, Galerie De Ruimte seeks to do more than show art: it opens a space where gentleness, harmony and a sense of coming home become tangible — between art and visitor, among artists, and between people and the world.

So come as you are.
