OTHER HALF
Solo Exhibition by Kublai Millan

Some stories can only be told with time.
After two decades in the making, Other Half marks Kublai Millan’s deeply personal reflection on the unseen forces that shape a life—love, sacrifice, struggle, patience, and the quiet presence of those who journey beside us.

Inspired by the changing phases of the moon, each work becomes a meditation on light and darkness, loss and fulfillment, and the realization that no life is ever lived alone. It is a tribute to the people, moments, and experiences that complete us, even when they remain unseen.

Step into a powerful body of work that celebrates gratitude, resilience, and the profound beauty of finding wholeness through another.

Throughout the collection, viewers will notice recurring visual elements, such as red tones balanced with blue, green, and yellow, as well as the recurring presence of the moon. Symbolizing his search for meaning through uncertain times and the patience required for wisdom to unfold, Kublai describes this period as his "moon phase,” reflecting the changing light across years of searching. - S.C.
