“Since last year, people would frequently begin conversations with “Remember…” for this exhibition, I wanted to highlight those we miss by sculpting abstracted forms that convey the psyche of togetherness. The pieces are meant to be a reflection of resonating moments we’ve had with others.” Thus remarked the sculptor Níccolo José. Most of the pieces are claimed wood, ebonized and lacquered, and mounted on sustainably-sourced marble or stone bases.
