The installation Mortals was selected in 2023 for A.I.R. Gallery’s 15th Biennial: Friends of the Artists, curated by Eriola Pira, in Brooklyn, NY.

Mortals visualizes the exhaustive number of people I have "known" since I was born. It translates in space, with flower petals, pins, threads and stickers, the complexity of a network that spans more than 2500 relationships.

The installation has evolved through 5 iterations for 5 different exhibitions and keeps on growing with new people known each year. This is the first year I used flower petals to symbolize relationships levels from acquaintance to flirt, from close friend to enemy. A key explains the color coding.
