Mirrors, wood, bulbs, and 120 oranges, 100 x 100 x 17 cm
A greenhouse-like structure houses oranges at various stages of ripeness/rotting. While the clear order of the arrangement establishes formal relations with the history of art, the organic element coaxes reflection on such binomials as life and death, control and transformation.
