PORTLAND, Ore. - TelAve -- Debajo del Nogal  |  Under the Walnut Tree
Solo Artshow featuring Argentinian artist Paola Zakimi

An intimate meditation on the garden as a refuge, where even decay holds space for renewal and transformation.

The Imperfecta Gallery is excited to present Debajo del Nogal (Under the Walnut Tree), a solo exhibition featuring Argentinian artist Paola Zakimi.

On view from June 7 to the 27, Debajo del Nogal invites viewers into an intimate, seasonal world shaped by the quiet rituals of a garden. Filled with leaves, flowers, and small creatures living in harmony, this exhibition reflects on the joy of impermanence and the beauty of renewal. It is a poetic meditation on home, memory, and transformation — where life fades and returns with the rhythm of the earth.

With this body of work Zakimi takes us on an intimate journey exploring the shared places that fill everyday gardens — the interstitial spaces where autumn leaves gather, and where old, empty pots become part of a stone patio. There, among drowsy plants that welcome the cold, flowers and small creatures live in harmony, echoing the rhythm of the seasons. They bid farewell to summer's visitors, celebrate the soft light of winter, and anticipate the coming frosts.

Under the Walnut Tree is a poetic reflection on the garden as a living cycle, where life, death, and rebirth coexist in quiet harmony. As the artist puts it: "Here, death is not an end, but part of the cycle—quiet, essential, and full of meaning. There is joy in perishing, and in being born again. My garden is a refuge. The home. My haven."

This solo show features handcrafted talismans — flowers and magical creatures — that embody the spirit of protection, transformation, and seasonal magic.
