"Individuation" was the Grand Opening exhibition at ShadowBoxX Gallery.

It featured approximately 50 of founder and artist Michael E. Voss's works. The term "individuation" refers to the Jungian psychological concept by which a person develops a unique identity and integrates different aspects of their personality. It involves separating from collective norms and achieving a sense of wholeness, ultimately leading to self-realization and personal growth. The hard part of individuation involves recognizing, interrogating and integrating what Jung called "the shadow," which are the aspects of ourselves that we choose to deny, hide or defend our ordinary consciousness against. This is a difficult effort. But once achieved, the individual becomes at peace with their full self, instead of fighting against hidden, suppressed or rejected aspects of their individuality, as well as gaining increased empathy for others.
