In this exhibition, graphic designer André Cruz presents a visual performance reflecting on the journeys of process. It opens a “suitcase” where drafts, gestures, and unfinished forms reveal the tension between beginning and destination. For André, meaning doesn’t sit at the end, instead, it lies in the middle, in the act of making, adjusting, and starting over.

He invites us to see design not as a polished result but as a constant pursuit: opening and closing, revisiting and running toward something that may never fully arrive.
