Priscilla Monge
Time-Crystal
Priscilla Monge (b. 1968, San José, Costa Rica) lives and works in San José.
Time-Crystal is a corten steel structure shaped like a faceted house, with small openings that allow visitors to insert flowers. Phrases cut into the surface mark it as a place for joy and a place for grief. As flowers accumulate and fade, the sculpture becomes a shared record of participation, where individual gestures form a collective expression of memory and emotion.
