Artist Statement:

Banana Installation intervenes into space with a multitude of large, inflatable bananas. Each banana responds to the viewer with an inflation and a deflation. The movement is accompanied by a burst of sound: vocalizing the syllables banana. These are not real bananas. These are symbols, icons, disassociated from our physical experiences. They are brought into a public space to activate a tangible, shared experience, revealing a rift between the real and the virtual.
