Not a comet, nor a UFO, it is yet to be defined. Oumuamua is an unresolved existence in astronomy. Scientists have only gotten a glimpse of its trace as it swiftly aborts away from the solar system. It seems as if it was a passerby travelling through space, searching where it belongs. Inadvertently, it goes along a trail that resembles a corridor with numerous doorways.

In Oumaumua in the Corridor, we question the unknown beyond our existence, identity and world after exiting to a new social framework. Will we remain the same? Will life be something more? Or will we remain as specks of dust, floating in space time? In our ever-changing world full of new beginnings and possibilities, 6 artists rediscover different perspectives in exploring themselves. As they dig deep into their own minds experimenting with various mediums including but not limited to painting, performance, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, and installation. Their heightened awareness of our existing world prompts valiant attempts at self-introspection, propelling them to be bold and take control.
