1000 Words Gallery proudly presents Hopawaaka: A Vision Quest, a solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Dailyn Eades, featuring new abstract and ceramic sculptures developed over the past year.

Supported by the Power Plant Grant (2024–2025), this exhibition explores themes of Indigenous identity, cultural displacement, and spiritual discovery, drawing inspiration from Shawnee vision quest traditions. Eades’ work combines organic form, texture, and symbolism to create a contemplative visual experience grounded in heritage and personal narrative.
