Xandelier

Installation

2018-2019

MUŻA Collection

Winner of Shifting Contexts 2019 (Aġenzija Żgħażagħ, Spazju Kreattiv & Valletta 2018)

Each fountain pen incorporated in this work represents a journalist that was killed around the globe from 1992 until the present day (Committee to Protect Journalists CPJ, 2018). The continuation of such a condemnable act is echoed by the constant dripping of red ink from the centre of the chandelier.
