Series "Holding it Together"
The series Holding It Together, is a body of work that investigates life's transformations, human connection, and the fragments that compose our lives. Built from layers of found and created materials, existing and developed patterns, the collage becomes a tactile map of thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Each fragment carries its own identity, yet gains new meaning through its proximity to others.
The seams—visible, uneven, and at times frayed—speak as powerfully as the fragments themselves. They embody the labor of orchestration, the deliberate act of integration, and the resilience carrying us through change and transitions, reinventing ourselves, honoring our past, present, and future.
A flash of neon cuts through the surface, casting a glow across the composition and reminding us that we are all interconnected: messy, improvised, and imperfect, yet strong enough to hold us together and carry us forward.
Series "Fragments"
Collaboration MF x Rifrullo
This custom edition for Rifrullo Cafe in Brookline, MA is honoring the legacy of this enchanting neighborhood cafe and its role as a community gathering place. The series "Holding It Together" reflects the labor of orchestration, the intentional act of creating connections, and the resilience of bonds that carry us through change and transitions. Rifrullo not only brings together neighbors, friends, and strangers over delicious food - it has also remained a steady, grounding presence in people's lives - holding us together.
Series "Entanglements"
The series "Entanglements" explores the history, fragility, and persistence of contemporary [urban] landscapes and ecological habitats through the material language of paper, fragments, and thread.
Built from layers of found and created materials, existing and developed patterns, each fragment reflects the multitude of identities within our biosphere and its proximity to each other. A flash of neon cuts through the surface, casting a glow across the composition and reminding us that we - humans, non-humans, and nature - are all interconnected. The thread symbolizes the care, maintenance, mending and imperfect acts of repair we have to consider to sustain this fragile relationship.
