retail shelving unit, rocks
A retail shelving unit typically used for commercial display becomes a vessel for raw, unprocessed rocks in this work by Gabriel Kuri. The juxtaposition of industrial consumer infrastructure with natural geological specimens creates a quiet tension between systems of value, exchange, and the organic world. Kuri invites viewers to consider how context and framing transform the perceived worth of ordinary and elemental objects alike.
