Minimalist, offbeat, and at times surreal, the collection explores relationships between people and objects. In Inanimate Objects, vases become reminders of discarded connections, notebooks are transformed into tools, enemies, and lovers, a skeletonized bird is used as a prescribed remedy for grief, and a stolen kidney is a worshipped relic.
