The Paris-based artist frames her work within a text she wrote that is provided in the press release. The title reads, “To protect and entertain. For this year, and more specifically the one to come” and carries on into a lengthy narrative… the dynamic seems to show a reality, there are no ruined monuments, the entry making time a binding. Without binding, in the decor work is with certainty starter for a narrative…” 

The installation consists of wood frames, black cardboard, glass, vinyl lettering, chairs and a bench that make up a delicate and minimal aesthetic, where fragments of sentences and lone words converse with the static objects placed beside.**

The Obscene group exhibition was on at Paris’ Galerie Escougnou-Cetraro, running February 6 to March 3, 2016.
