Testing the qualities of glass once again, the artist screen prints 56 pieces and installs them across 80 meters of space, evoking a chorus of forms, but who are these/is this forms/form.

Christ suspended from the cross comes to mind, so does the drama of an army of models marching down the stage.

“Transparency and hardness; fragility and resistance; protection and danger,” he reflects as Borondon considers what draws him again and again to glass as a canvas for screen print. All of these are applicable and yet his placement in this repetitive way strikes you as the ephemera of projection of image.
