Mango Sherbert

Mango Sherbet is an exhibition designed for Vox Popuili in Philadelphia, PA. It consisted of 9 vignettes and a single video work. The exhibition is centers around the carabao mango from the Philippines. These mangoes are said to be the sweetest in the world. The brightly painted ceramic mangoes are found inside 9 colorful vignettes. The form of the mango is transformed, replicated, and fused with other objects. The mango changes and blends into the many environments, showcasing its’ chameleon abilities. The exhbition’s sherbet inspired palette invokes a sense of innocence and over the top sweetness. The video monitor plays BLK MNGO, a 20 minute video of a child’s hands, holding and smashing the ceramic mangoes to reveal a belly full of colorful juice. Each smash is celebrated with a rain of confetti.
