Ecorhizome Stories
Ezra Wube
February 6 - March 29, 2026 | Opening Reception / Meet the Artist: Friday, February 6 / 5-8pm
Our 2026 Gallery season at 3S Artspace opens with artist Ezra Wube, whose work blends stop-motion animation, painting, collage, and community storytelling. His films move between mythology, environmental reflection, and everyday life — always asking how we imagine the places we belong to. Wube's animated works in Ecorhizome Stories explore climate, culture, and collective imagination.

Artist Statement
Ezra Wube's work combines tactile analog mediums and digital media to explore experiences of mobility and the malleability of time and place. These fragmentations are reconciled through the storytelling aspects of his work, as a means to connect multiple realities.
While collaging his past with present experiences, he attempts to make a third entity that is in both the past and the present in which place and time are continuously shifting.
