"Super Natural" combines the work of four Miami-based artists: Nicole Burko, Lee Pivnik, Lauren Shapiro, and Magnus Sodamin. This group exhibition presents unique perspectives that speak to the power of nature, the intrinsic mysticism of life, and the rhythms of human existence. The infinite mysteries of our world often prompt deep existential questions: What does it mean to be alive at this moment? What are we compelled to bring forth? Each artist in this exhibition confronts these profound inquiries and transforms them into tangible artifacts.

Nicole Burko's profound engagements with the ocean through freediving—a single-breath journey into the ocean's depths—transcends into psychological landscape paintings. They beckon viewers to delve into the uncharted terrains of our world, urging an exploration of both terrestrial expanses and the unknown realms beyond.

Magnus Sodamin, drawing inspiration from the Everglades' prehistoric fauna, sees them as the epitome of evolutionary artistry. Their enduring presence, stretching from the era of the dinosaurs to the present, is a testament to nature's design and the essence of life over time.

Lauren Shapiro uses 3D scanning, digital fabrication, and mold-making techniques to create ceramics inspired by her expeditions into nature. Driven by a profound interest in the intricate relationships of natural systems, she draws on science to deepen the biological insights imbued in her work. Through her sculptures, she uncovers hidden realms that help establish a stronger connection with the environment.

Lee Pivnik explores the realms of queer and feminist theory and decolonial thinking. Through their work, Pivnik challenges and reimagines worldviews centered around humans. By highlighting the significance of the unseen, Pivnik emphasizes recognizing and appreciating the invisible forces that shape our world.
