As part of Past is Present, Tami Bahat created various rooms styled from the past, that incorporate her vintage framed photographs on the wall. Visitors are be able to walk into a bedroom setting, a sitting room, and reading area, transporting themselves to another time when the past is present. By creating these installations, the artist invites the public to slow down and absorb the subtle nuances that exist within her work, reflecting on the quiet joys that are so often overlooked.
