Scope and Content: ‘Alexa Okuwen’ is a work produced in 2023. It was first exhibited at ‘The Good neighbor’, held from May 25 to June 10, 2023, at Art Space 3. In the first part, the work features a structure where fabric printed with an image presumed to be an animal’s torso is joined by a zipper to another fabric showing a plane leaving a contrail across a city skyline. The second part follows the same structure, zipping together an image of an animal’s torso with a fabric printed with images of an envelope, a frame, and a meteorite falling through Earth's atmosphere. Objects such as bracelets, necklaces, dried flowers, and photographs are placed atop the fabric-covered metal supports. The title follows the format of a common foreign name.
Physical characteristics and technical requirements: Image composition and fabric material vary by exhibition.
