What

Presented by the Woodson African American Museum of Florida and Creative Pinellas

Step into the boundless world of iMAGiNE NATiON, where artist iBOMS redefines imagination as an infinite, unexplored land—a motherland of all knowledge and the birthplace of spirituality, science, art, and philosophy.

Often seen as a realm of childhood, iBOMS views imagination as a vital, lifelong force. In this exhibition, he builds a “nation of imagination,” bringing ideas to life through objects and figures crafted with graphite, spray paint, resin casting, digital design, and even elements from nature.

iMAGiNE NATiON invites viewers to rediscover the power of imagination beyond childhood, exploring its potential as a tool for understanding life’s complexities and opportunities. For iBOMS, imagination is not just a creative outlet but a foundational force that shapes culture, structures, and the human psyche.
A multidisciplinary artist, iBOMS uses his craft to inspire, challenge, and transform perspectives. His work reflects his belief that imagination is not merely an escape but an essential means of shaping the world we live in.

Don’t miss this transformative journey into the vibrant and uncharted iMAGiNE NATiON!
