Welcome
The Invisible Cage is a journey through twelve artworks—each exploring the unseen forces that shape our lives. This exhibition is not just visual; it's emotional, reflective, and deeply personal. Every painting marks a step inward, inviting you to pause and reconnect with what has always lived quietly within.
Artist Introduction
My name is Metissa Ward (May). I come from a background in architecture, interior design, and photography—but painting became my way of translating the inner voice I had long ignored. My work is intuitive, layered, and filled with emotion. I believe art isn’t just something you look at; it’s something you feel.
About the Exhibition
The Invisible Cage is about realisation. About questioning the quiet beliefs, fears, and expectations we unconsciously carry. Each painting represents a moment of transformation: a mask removed, a shadow faced, a dream remembered. These are not just paintings. They are mirrors. They are keys.
