Stillness
Is My Lamborghini
At the center of the installation, a body moved slowly and methodically through a repetitive act of weaving, binding together ephemeral packing materials used to protect what is valued and consumed. Viewers were invited to blow their dreams into the material before placing it into a bucket to be sewn into the structure, creating an ever-growing accumulation around an open center that remained intentionally untouched, open, and available. Materials associated with preservation, luxury, and consumption became unstable containers for immaterial longing itself. Red strands resembling sinew or lifeforce
at its core became increasingly present: a space of suspended stillness held within the clutter and residue of yearning.
This is a new luxury. A divining of the ephemeral invisible. A stillness that opens and cuts. In suspended seeking, what remains? What is found? Can contentment be littered, cluttered, stored, strewn, wrapped, discarded?
Stillness is My Lamborghini approached luxury not through possession, but through the radical proposition of stillness itself: an ephemeral state resistant to accumulation, optimization, and display. Situated within the accelerated economies of Miami Art Week, the work offered a counter-tempo, asking what remains when striving is momentarily suspended, and whether contentment can exist outside the endless circulation of desire.
