Maghda’s Mute at Nitroglobus in Second Life

Posted on by Inara Pey
Nitroglobus Roof Gallery: Maghda – Mute

As a Second Life artist-photographer, Maghda is rightfully renowned for her avatar studies. More than portraits, they are always stunningly composed, layered, and rich in narrative explorations. Often the latter takes the form of self-reflection as well as themes we can all grasp –  as with such exhibitions as Sole Fragments (from 2023) and Demons (from 2024), both of which were featured at Nitroglobus Roof Gallery, curated and operated by Dido Haas.

And it is to Nitroglobus that Maghda returns for an exhibition running from Monday, July 14th, 2025 through into August. Entitled Mute, the exhibition also – I gather from the notes supplied by Dido for the event – marks Maghda’s return to the SL art scene after a period of intense personal upheaval.

I’ve no idea – nor need to know – what that upheaval might have been, but would say that in no way has it diminished Maghda’s ability to produce pieces with a depth of emotional content and evocative statements on life and our relationship with its twists and turns. In this, its is hard not to see Mute are a third part of a (thus far) trilogy of Exhibitions at Nitroglobus – the first two being the aforementioned Sole Fragments and Demons.

Sometimes the ground gives way beneath you,
and the air stands still, refusing to carry sound.
No words rise—
only the heaviness of all that remains unspeakable.
A look. A breath. A storm held at the edge.
Mute isn’t silence—it’s the overflow of what words can’t contain.
Your voice, once steady, curls inward, tucked behind your ribs.

I’m not going to attempt to offer any personal interpretation of Mute; the pieces are bound to speak to each of us differently. All I will say is that as someone facing a significant degree of adversity in the physical world, I found much within Mute that resonates strongly with me. I would also note that the three large sculptures placed within the gallery space (by JadeYu Fhang, SATANasss and Cherry Manga respectively) also offer reflections of the themes and emotions found within Maghda’s art, perfectly completing it.

Officially opening at 12:00 noon SLT on Monday, July 14th, 2025 with music from NOIR, Mute is again an exhibition rich in content and not to be missed.
