Suggestive of a map of constellations, Relational Realities comprised of thin metal wires interspersed with washers that spread in all directions. Delicate and ethereal, the assemblage visualizes connections that are also entanglements. The web-like system references cartographic lines, a network of the cosmos, and neurons and synapses of the brain. Forms also suggest swarms, nests, webs, and geometrical shapes to explore our shifting, transgressing and fluctuating behaviors.

The title Relational Realities comes from a phrase by physicist Max Tegmark stating “that we live in a relational reality, in the sense that the properties of the world around us stem not from properties of its ultimate building blocks, but from the relations between these building blocks.” The installation’s web-like systems create references to cartographic lines of merging islands, social networks, and cosmic interconnectivities. The forms, also suggests neurons, synapses of the brain and geometrical shapes to explore society’s shifting, transgressing and fluctuating behaviors.

This installation was shown in both Relational Undercurrents: Contemporary Art of the Caribbean Archipelago, Pacific Standard Time LA/LA, Museum of Latin American Art, CA and in the group exhibition Constellations Part 1: Figures on earth and beyond, Gallery 1957, London, UK.
