Ancient philosophers advocated four universal constitutional elements, earth, water, air and fire. However, research on the existence of a further fifth element, still continues.

Despite the fact that a consensus around what the fifth element might be has yet to be reached, it provides an explorative space for us.

The fifth element might perhaps be the sugar in a cup of coffee, the new life in a family, the ineffaceable memory in the mind, the catastrophic battle or the tracing of time. It would have its own character and shape in different time and space. Have these elements ever been overlooked, neglected, disregarded or abandoned? From the unknown or the unseen, something new fangled or inventive may be learnt through exploration and investigation.

In this graduate exhibition by the fifth cohort of graduates from the B.A. Fine Art program, artists will show their distinctiveness and uniqueness through multifarious media such as painting, sculpture, ceramic, photography or installation art and reveal the fifth element from an artistic perspective.
