Showcasing an imaginative collection of artworks created for this year’s theme, Nautical, the exhibition invited artists to explore the many worlds that exist above and below the sea. From mermaids and pirates to boats, birds, turtles and mythical ocean wanderers, the theme opened the door to stories shaped by tides, horizon lines and the creatures who travel between them.

Each artwork reflects a unique response to the nautical realm, crafted from reclaimed marine materials and transformed through artistry, symbolism and play. Together, they create a dynamic portrait of life connected to the water, adventurous, mysterious and deeply evocative.
