Encapsulating a Paradox is featured in a group exhibition exploring art made and re-created from consumer waste in all forms.
Encapsulating a Paradox is part of Monet’s ongoing project between relationships with organic and inorganic materials. Her series encapsulates, in tiny vials/tubes, the world we live in through various materials that create friction with each other and between human connections. With friction comes flow; I believe nature always prevails because it flows.
This installation focuses on the aftermath culmination of various human pleasures disrupting the earth’s ozone layer and increased pollution. While these pleasures may be of human necessity or bring human joy, at the same time, creates un-pleasurable consequences on this earth where we live. She encapsulates this idea in vials with a painted gold cork. The vials are stuffed with trash and found materials. The vials are hung on a 20ft by 8 foot wall. Monet invites you to surround yourself visually and physically through this paradoxical relationship between humans and nature.
“Hungry, Thirsty” at Gallery-O-Rama
Curatore Monet Oganesian
About the ‘Hungry, Thirsty’ art show:
Food is more than sustenance; it's a powerful language that connects us all. The art show, "Hungry, Thirsty" explores how food and drink shape our lives, foster connections, and spark introspection.
“Hungry, Thirsty” delves into themes of vulnerability, nourishment and community. Food & drink act as a language, shaping our own experiences and those around us. Some questions include how food influences our self-awareness, brings people together and connects generations through culinary traditions.
