Love’s a Chess Game In her first individual exhibition, Carmen Sabina offers an intimate reflection on affective relationships as spaces of play shaped by tension and vulnerability.

Having grown up in constant contact with clinical environments, her practice does not emerge as an escape or a site of healing, but rather as an ongoing attempt to represent those fragile spaces where the human mind oscillates.

Through a multidisciplinary approach, she draws a parallel—across painting, ceramic, textile intervention and poetry—between romantic bonds and chess, revealing how relationships can shift into power dynamics in which emotional connection is gradually replaced by strategy.

The work does not seek to resolve these tensions, but to expose them.
