Using plastic flowers, mirrors, found supports, electric cables, plotted prints, and light, the work centers on a Televisor Caribe as both image and object, suggesting media as a channel where perception and memory move together, folding into one another and blurring the line between original and copy, domestic artifact and mediated apparition.

The installation is composed of plastic flowers, a mirror, found concrete tiles, a found pallet, chrome book supports, electric cable, a Nanlite light, an easel, carton board, a vase, and adhesive.
