Yvonne Roeb’s silver colored, fabric sculpture Convergence looks like a dividing cell, or two cells colliding, and captures the energetic tension between exhaustion and regeneration. Roeb’s organic forms balance weight and lightness, stillness and motion, evoking both fatigue and the will to persist. Her works render rest itself as a political gesture, a way of insisting on humanity amid depletion. For Roeb, this persistence is a type of activism: a quiet resistance rooted in the expansiveness of connection.
