They ask to stay, 2025, Rebars, straight pins, glass beads, wire, plaster, concrete, vinyl, glue, paraffin, charcoal, 240 × 122.5 × 50 cm

In They ask to stay, a delicately beaded net, made using an artisanal and ritualistic weaving technique, evokes the oppositional dynamics of its contents: bananas (a mass-marketed product) molded from industrial concrete. The weight of the fossilized banana represents the burden of its historical memory, which is obscured by the simplified modern mobility of merchandise transport. This iteration of the work is framed by a scaffolding constructed of welded rebar.
