CORAZON TIGRADO by Virginie Morillo
Back from a trip to Amazonia, Virginie brought home photographs of medicinal plants and the visual language of the rainforest. Corazón Tigrado — the tigered heart — is said to bring protection, and opens the series as its founding piece.

FOSSILE by Hadrien Dussoix
Hadrien salvaged imperfect offcuts — screw holes, unfinished edges, some sanded smooth, others left raw — and had plugs added at random before reshaping and retrimming each piece until it found its balance. Layer after layer, the accumulation starts to look like something excavated rather than built.

THE KISS OF DEATH by Kristina Irobalieva
Two faces, fear and anger, locked together by a dart. The imagery reads naive at first glance — almost cartoonish — until it tips into something violent, the “kiss” doing exactly the opposite of what it promises.

MEXICAN GOTHIC by Konstantin Sgouridis
A femur bone dagger stacked in a gothic rosette, carved straight out of a barrel cactus. Half shrine, half skeleton, it spins the way folk saints and gothic cathedrals share the same appetite for symbols. Sounds a bit Mexican, don’t you think ?

FLEUR & PIXEL by Vidya Gastaldon
Vidya is obsessed with an amateur painting palette — a flower-shaped board every beginner starts on. It also reads like a Christmas cookie or a birthday cake. Push it to 5, 6, 7, 8 petals and it tips into sacred geometry: the banal becomes the universe.
