MacFarlane, as well as Justice Edward Cameron, had the opportunity to address the guests before the exhibition was opened to the public.

The exhibition centres around the theme of love, MacFarlane stated.
“This broad theme has quite the reach and resonated with a lot of guests,” she said. “That is also why it was so well received.”
MacFarlane added that Boerma was overwhelmed by the extremely positive feedback the exhibition has gathered.
