gm! I recently had an in-depth conversation with a Georgian news outlet about our artwork. We discussed The Wild Within as a whole, our new hand-cut glass mosaics, and how one particular town inspired us to explore this medium.

'Walk With Me', 2026 Hand-cut glass tesserae, grout, mounted on Dibond and framed in oak 106.2 x 59.8 in. | 270 x 152 cm You can see the work in NYC, on view until October 22. Part of our solo exhibition of The Wild Within. 10am - 6pm every day except Sunday Leila Heller Gallery 22 East 80th Street New York City 'Walk With Me' marks a new evolution of The Wild Within, extending the project into glass, tile, and architectural materials. The work depicts the interior of an abandoned sanatorium in Georgia, unfolding through a stairwell that once formed part of one of the Soviet Union’s most celebrated spa destinations. The use of hand-cut glass and architectural materials creates a direct connection to the built environment from which the subject originates. At the same time, each individual tessera echoes the structure of a digital pixel, connecting the ancient material language of mosaic to the digitally native techniques involved in creating the work.

'A New Era' Sharjah, UAE, 2025 / printed 2026 Archival pigment print, mounted on Dibond, framed in maple 89 x 50 in. | 226.1 x 127 cm Set within the shifting sands of Sharjah’s desert, ‘A New Era’ reimagines an abandoned settlement near Al Madam. Once inhabited by members of a semi-nomadic Bedouin community, the village now stands partially submerged beneath the dunes, its quiet interiors shaped as much by the movement of sand and light as by architecture. Koopmans and Wexell were drawn to the site’s stillness, minimalist geometry, and striking palette. Soft blue walls, faded and eroded by time. Within this altered space, vegetation emerges unexpectedly from the dunes. Its presence suggests not a return to the past, but the beginning of another life for the structure. As overgrowth accumulates across the floors, the boundaries between interior and exterior, shelter and landscape, gradually dissolve. The title ‘A New Era’ evokes the successive transformations embedded within the site: its creation during a period of profound change, its eventual abandonment, and its imagined reawakening. Rather than reconstructing what has been lost, the artists envision the building as a living threshold, where traces of human history give way to new forms of growth. On view as part of The Wild Within Ongoing until October 22 10am-6pm every day except Sunday Leila Heller Gallery 22 East 80th Street (at Madison Ave) New York, NY
