MALEGRIA

Installation Concept development, TBZ Brookline

Malegria : Breath Amid the Depth

This immersive installation explores the delicate balance of living with simultaneous joy and sorrow. The title, Malegría, fuses mal (pain) and alegría (joy), naming a universal paradox of the human experience. Through a multidisciplinary blend of textiles, soundscapes, and pebbles sculptures, the work creates a sacred yet open-ended environment for reflection.

Rather than delivering answers, the space invites presence, movement, and collective breath. It serves as a vehicle for dialogue and empathy, holding personal and collective grief without resolution, and standing as a testament to resilience in the face of life's complexities.
