Breaking Cycles, Building Community: Vanessa Morrow’s Debut Exhibition is a powerful collection of bold paintings and poetry exploring liberation, self-discovery, and breaking generational cycles. Each piece is paired with an original poem in a hand-designed brochure, guiding viewers through Morrow’s deeply personal journey.

“Break the Cycle is about acknowledging what no longer serves us and choosing the lifelong work of healing,” said Morrow. “I want people to feel seen in that process, to know they are not alone.”

Break the Cycle is showing now at MYLR Gallery through September 30th. Original works and limited-edition merchandise are available.
