Crash into Me, 2007-2010
Site-specific installation at Pratt Manhattan Gallery, New York, NY (2007) and at Museo de Arte de Caguas (MUAC), Caguas, Puerto Rico (2010)
Fluorescent orange and hot pink ribbons

In Crash into Me, my intention is to dynamically change the architecture of the space by using a simple material. The orange and pink ribbons are subtle, delicate and almost invisible like whispers. At the same time, they are impossible to miss because of where they are/were installed. The two columns, a basic architecture element, allow the two colored lines of ribbon to connect and become one.
