Gallery 110 presents Echoes of Yesterday, a vibrant exhibition capturing the essence of dreams and memories through mesmerizing, luminous artworks on glass by mixed media artist Sanjida Mity.

Her work often features human figures and faces against surreal backdrops. Working on the distinctive media of glass, Mity merges the colors and rhythms of life into a harmonious symphony of “beaming yellows, oranges, and rusts of hope; the tranquil beauty of coexistence between humans and nature in white, green, and blue; and the bravery and spirit of life in red.” These elements combine to form a bright and dreamy concoction that flows like the ragas of classical music, with patterns, lines, and shapes moving in a rhythmic dance across the glass surface.

For Mity, the blueprint for a rewarding and fulfilling life lies in the quotidian minutiae, the spirituality of a humble mind, and the innocence that comes from authenticity and connection with one’s roots. Born in Bangladesh, her art is deeply inspired by her South East Asian heritage, reflecting the earthiness, spirituality, Sufism, and celebration of nature that are central to Bangladeshi culture.

A testament to optimism, her art captures the grandeur in the ordinary, the warmth and shelter provided by Mother Nature, and the tenderness of the human heart. Echoes of Yesterday embodies the unstoppable human spirit and the harmonious living of communities, bringing to life the beauty and resilience of her homeland.

Sanjida Mity is an acclaimed artist whose work reflects her deep connection with her cultural roots and passion for exploring the beauty and harmony of life through art. Born in Bangladesh and currently a resident of Washington, USA, her unique glass paintings have been exhibited in galleries and art shows in Dhaka, Bangladesh, as well as in Washington, Oregon, and California in the USA.
